Backed by Amazon MX Player and Almighty Motion Picture, the series traces the inspiring legacy of J.R.D. Tata and his instrumental role in shaping Indian industry. Set in the 1980s, the show delves into the founding of Titan Watches and the visionary partnership between Tata and Xerxes Desai, portrayed by Jim Sarbh.
Sarbh, known for his performance in Made in Heaven, joins an ensemble cast that includes Namita Dubey, Vaibhav Tatwawaadi, Kaveri Seth, Lakshvir Saran, and Paresh Ganatra in key roles.
