Kaala Ghoda Films Appoints Anup Jain as Head of Global Sales

Mumbai-based creative and marketing company Kaala Ghoda Films has appointed Anup Jain as Head of Global Sales, marking a strategic push to expand its international client base. The announcement was made on August 31, 2026.

Jain will be responsible for developing the company’s international business, including new client acquisition, enterprise relationships, strategic RFPs and cross-border partnerships. His role also includes building the sales function to support the company’s expansion into markets outside India.

At Kaala Ghoda Films, Jain will work across the company’s creative, film, branded content and marketing businesses as it seeks to develop its international client base. The company, known for its work in brand storytelling and content production, is positioning itself to compete at a global level.

Background and experience

Jain brings more than a decade of experience across corporate travel, hospitality and enterprise services. He has held senior roles at Landmark Group Dubai, Thomas Cook, Riya Travel & Tours, Vihangs Palm Club & Hotel and DuDigital Global. Across these roles, he has managed and influenced commercial portfolios representing more than Rs 490 crore ($60 million) in cumulative P&L, according to the company.

His background in enterprise decision-making and commercial relationships is expected to support Kaala Ghoda Films’ international expansion strategy.

Strategic rationale and leadership comment

Speaking on his new role, Anup 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 added, “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.”
