Watched Made in India: A Titan Story on Amazon MX Player and wondering who Megha Mhatre is? The show presents Megha as the heartbeat of Titan’s early days, something similar to what happened in real life as well. So, without any further ado, let’s take a look at who the real woman behind this compelling character is and what she is doing now.
Made In India: A Titan Story
Based on the story of Xerxes Desai, the founder of the titular Indian watchmaking company, Made In India: A Titan Story follows true historical events. Starring Jim Sarbh and Naseeruddin Shah in the key roles, the show also maintains a vested focus on Megha Mhatre, one of the most prominent characters.
Who Is Megha Mhatre?
Played by actress Kaveri Seth, Megha Mhatre is shown as the first executive recruited by Xerxes Desai (portrayed by Jim Sarbh) when they had just launched the Tata Watch Project in the 1980s. Over time, as the project turns successful, eventually turning into Titan, which specialises in world-class watches, Megha is promoted to the role of head of marketing. She plays a pivotal role in the formation of Titan, constantly working towards the formation of successful venture.
Meet Vibha Paul Rishi, The Real-Life Inspiration Behind Megha Mhatre
If the reports are to be believed, Megha’s character is inspired by Vibha Paul Rishi. Vibha was hired for a similar role in the group of foundational executives behind Titan. As for her education, Vibha pursued a Master’s degree in Business Administration with a specialisation in Marketing and her career began at the Tata Administrative Service.
Reportedly, Vibha was one of the first members to be a part of Tata Group’s new venture associated with watchmaking. During her tenure with the company, she worked alongside Desai and his team of experts, positioning herself as one of the key members of the company during its initial days.
Where Is Vibha Paul Rishi Now?
Vibha Paul Rishi went on to build an illustrious career following her exit from Titan. She later served as Chief Marketing Officer at Apollo Tyres and has been widely recognised as one of India’s leading marketing leaders. Her journey from Tata to boardrooms across corporate India is nothing short of praiseworthy.
Coming back to the show’s character Megha Mhatre, it plays an important role in building the narrative through a woman’s lens, showcasing the power of females in a field dominated by male visionaries.
