Studio Panchatantra

Studio Panchatantra is the creative ad agency under Chai Bisket. We think, write, and make the work. The Chai Bisket ecosystem puts it in front of people.

Behind us is an ecosystem most agencies would kill for - a content publisher, a production house, a creator network, and a media platform, under one roof:

• 250+ brands partnered and 300+ films marketed
• 5M+ social network reach across Chai Bisket's channels
• 5,000+ creators, in-house and open market
• Chai Shots, our vertical, mobile-first OTT app for micro-dramas
• 100+ documentaries, 15+ web series, 3,000+ reels and shorts
  

What you'll be selling

• Strategy & Positioning - brand diagnosis, audience mapping, messaging architecture.
• Brand Storytelling - brand films, founder branding, documentary IPs, corporate films, performance creatives.
• Brand-Integrated Reels - culture-first reels on a 5M+ network.
• Show Sponsorships - title and in-show integrations across Chai Bisket web series and Chai Shots.
• Original IPs - formats the brand co-owns: fiction, shows, documentaries.
• Influencer & Meme Amplification - creator campaigns and real-time memes.
• Film Partnerships - trailer pre-rolls, in-film integrations, co-branded TVCs.
• Celebrity Partnerships - ambassadors, cast interviews, star-led content.

The role

You'll lead the agency's sales. New brand accounts, bigger mandates from existing ones, and a pipeline that doesn't depend on the founder's phone. You'll sell integrated campaigns, not one-off videos - strategy, films, IPs, creators, and distribution in one package - and be the person brands trust to get it done.

This isn't a desk role. It's a builder role.

What you'll own

• Revenue. Own the agency's annual sales target. Forecast it, track it, hit it.
• New business. Open doors at brands, startups, sports properties and foundations across Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and beyond.
• Integrated deals. Turn a brief for one film into a full mandate - strategy, content, IPs, influencers, show sponsorships, film and celebrity partnerships.
• Key accounts. Grow clients from one-off projects to retainers and launch campaigns.
• Pitches. Lead pitch meetings with the strategy and creative team. Shape the brief, the proposal and the commercials.
• Deal-making. Negotiate pricing, scope and terms. Close. Collect.
• Pipeline discipline. Build the CRM, the sales rhythm and the reporting so the founder sees the business at a glance.
• Team. As the agency grows, hire and lead a small BD and client-servicing team.
  

Who you are

• Agency-bred. 8+ years at an ad, marketing, digital or content agency, working directly with brands.
• A proven closer. You personally contributed ₹2–4 Cr per year or more in revenue in your previous stint. You can show us the deals.
• Brand-side fluent. You know how CMOs, brand managers, and procurement teams think, buy, and approve.
• Good with people. Clients like you. Creative teams trust you. You make hard conversations easy.
• A sharp communicator. In a boardroom, on a call, in a WhatsApp message, in a proposal. Clear, crisp, convincing.
• An owner. You don't wait for leads. You make them.
• Based in Mumbai or Hyderabad, and happy to travel for pitches and shoots.
  

Good to have

• Experience selling films, branded content, video or production services.
• An existing network of brand marketers in Mumbai, Hyderabad or Bengaluru.
• Exposure to CSR, foundations or social impact budgets
• A genuine love for stories.
