ANUP JAIN JOINS KAALA GHODA FILMS AS HEAD OF GLOBAL SALES

Kaala Ghoda Films has appointed Anup Jain as Head of Global Sales, marking a pivotal step in the Mumbai-based creative and marketing company’s ambition to expand internationally. With over 16 years of leadership experience across diverse industries, Jain will spearhead the company’s global commercial strategy and build its international footprint.  

Kaala Ghoda Films, the Mumbai-based creative and marketing company known for blending storytelling, behavioural psychology, neuroscience, data and technology, has announced the appointment of Anup Jain as Head of Global Sales. The move signals a decisive step in the company’s ambition to establish a strong international client and commercial presence, as it enters its next phase of growth.  

The company, which has built a reputation for its multidisciplinary capabilities across creative, film, branded content and marketing, is now setting its sights on larger mandates from global brands, agencies and enterprise clients. Jain’s appointment reflects this strategic pivot, positioning Kaala Ghoda Films to compete at the highest level of the global creative and marketing ecosystem.  

Anup Jain brings more than 16 years of leadership experience spanning Corporate Travel, Hospitality and Enterprise Services, with senior roles at Landmark Group Dubai, Thomas Cook, Riya Travel & Tours, Vihangs Palm Club & Hotel and DuDigital Global. Across these businesses, he has managed and influenced commercial portfolios representing more than ₹490 crore ($60M+) in cumulative P&L, building expertise in complex markets, enterprise relationships and high-value business environments.  

At Kaala Ghoda Films, Jain’s remit extends beyond conventional sales. He will be responsible for building the company’s global commercial architecture, developing international acquisition channels, strengthening enterprise relationships, leading strategic RFPs, creating cross-border partnerships and building a sales organisation capable of taking Kaala Ghoda’s creative capabilities into larger global markets.  

Speaking about his new role, Jain said: “International expansion requires more than having great creative work. It requires the commercial infrastructure, relationships and discipline to consistently compete for—and win—high-value opportunities. Kaala Ghoda has built a distinctive creative and strategic capability. My role is to build the global engine around it, creating the right partnerships, entering the right markets and turning that capability into long-term international business.”  

Kaala Ghoda Films’ leadership described the appointment as an important inflection point in the company’s evolution from a creative-led business into a globally oriented marketing and content company. “Anup brings something we believe is critical for our next chapter: the ability to understand complex businesses, navigate enterprise decision-making, and turn relationships into sustainable commercial opportunities. We don’t want to simply export Indian creative talent to international markets. We want to build a company that can compete at the highest level of the global creative and marketing ecosystem.”  

With Jain leading its global commercial strategy, Kaala Ghoda Films is positioning its next phase around a simple ambition: to combine the depth of Indian creative talent with the commercial sophistication required to build lasting global partnerships. The appointment underscores the company’s determination to translate its multidisciplinary creative proposition into a scalable international business, marking a new chapter in its journey towards global relevance.
