Made In India: The Titan Story – Single-Product Challenger To A Lifestyle and Jewellery Powerhouse

Streaming On Amazon MX Player, Made In India: A Titan Story Traces The Remarkable Journey Of Xerxes Desai and J.R.D. Tata As They Built India’s First Indigenous Quartz Watch Brand

Made In India: A Titan Story is a six-episode biographical drama series streaming for free on Amazon MX Player and available through Prime Video. It chronicles the incredible journey of Tata executive Xerxes Desai and J.R.D. Tata as they defy all odds to build India’s first world-class, indigenous quartz watch.  The series is inspired by by Vinay Kamath’s book, Titan: India’s Most Successful Consumer Brand

Set in pre-liberalized India, the show highlights how a sidelined Tata executive (Xerxes Desai) pivots from a failing printing press venture to take on smuggled goods and foreign watch brands. Actor Naseeruddin Shah plays JRD Tata, while Jim Sarbh portrays Xerxes Desai in the series that traces the formation of the company and its growth within the consumer sector. The narrative focuses on decisions, ideas and execution that shaped the business over time. It presents the link between leadership and development of the company.

The story of Titan resonates strongly with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of “Make in India,” which champions domestic manufacturing, innovation, and self-reliance. Long before the initiative became a national movement, Titan embodied these principles by proving that an Indian company could design, manufacture, and market world-class products capable of competing with global brands.

In many ways, Made In India: A Titan Story serves as a compelling reminder that the foundations of India’s manufacturing ambitions were laid decades ago by pioneers who believed in creating globally competitive products on Indian soil.

From a single-product underdog in 1984 to a retail powerhouse today, Titan Company Ltd. has spent decades rewriting the rules of lifestyle and luxury. With a massive footprint of over 2,000 stores housing 16 iconic brands, they know how to make a statement. Look no further than their glittering jewellery lineup—featuring Tanishq, Zoya, Mia, CaratLane, and beYon—masterfully crafting everything from effortless everyday minimalist pieces to jaw-dropping, high-value luxury.

Every Day, A New Story: Mia By Tanishq Reimagines Billboard Advertising With Its ‘Precious, Every Day’ Calendar

The Brand Brings A Billboard That Turns A New Page Every Night To Bengaluru and Mumbai, Offering A Reminder That You Don’t Need To Wait For An Occasion To Wear Something Precious

What if a billboard had a new story to tell every single day? Mia by Tanishq, one of India’s leading contemporary fine jewellery brands, has transformed a billboard into a giant calendar that flips to a new page every night, each one pairing a new Mia piece with a line that finds something precious in that day of the week. The installation is on a 30-day run at the Domlur flyover gantry heading into Indiranagar in Bengaluru, following a week-long run on Mumbai’s Western Express Highway. At its heart is a simple insight: women often celebrate the people and milestones around them but hold back when it comes to celebrating themselves. Mia’s answer: you can be the occasion.

Last year, Mia’s calendar-themed billboard showcased a different jewellery piece in each date square. This edition takes the idea further. Each night, one of 30 calendar pages is physically turned to reveal a fresh line and a new Mia piece, while the Mia logo and ‘Precious, Every Day’ stay fixed. Commuters who pass the same stretch every morning find something new waiting for them.

The campaign reflects how jewellery has become an expression of mood and self-appreciation, not something kept only for gifting or festivities. A Monday page pairs Mia’s Blue Rhythm gold stud earrings, set with blue sapphires, with the line “The only Monday blues worth having,” turning the most dreaded day of the week into a playful one. Wednesday highlights personal victories with “Midweek? Stack your rings like your wins,” while Saturday encourages women to embrace the present with “Step out in the necklace you’ve been saving for ‘some’ day.” Each line starts with how a day already feels, from the Monday slump to the midweek push, and turns it into a reason to wear something precious.

Commenting on the campaign, Ajay Maurya, Head of Marketing and Category, Mia by Tanishq, said:

“More and more women are choosing jewellery for themselves, without waiting for a reason. These are not new behaviours we are trying to create, but everyday realities we are reflecting. A woman may simply feel good about herself and choose a piece of jewellery to mark it. With the ‘Precious, Every Day’ calendar, we wanted to bring that thought to the place where everyday life happens, the daily commute. A page that changes overnight gives people a small reason to look up, and a reminder that there is something precious in every day.”

With the ‘Precious, Every Day’ calendar, Mia by Tanishq turns a familiar outdoor format into a story told one page at a time, reminding women that the most precious moments are often the ones they choose for themselves. The activation was executed in partnership with Platinum Outdoor and Madison World.
