Collective Artists Network adds three new partners to leadership team
When a company grows up, it often looks inward and Collective Artists Network has done just that. The media and entertainment network has inducted Janahavi Rawal, Sanjana Jain and Rahul Regulapati into its partnership, signalling a clear vote of confidence in leaders who have helped build the business from the inside out.
The move comes as Collective sharpens its focus for its next phase of growth across content, culture and technology. The three new partners join an existing leadership group comprising Sudeep Subash, Kshitij Mehta, Jaya Saha, Avinash Bidaia, Nandita Sachdev and Dhruv Chitgopekar, a cohort that has played a central role in shaping the company’s scale, culture and strategic direction.
Rawal, a long-standing leader at Collective, steps into the partnership to head the company’s talent management charter. With over a decade inside the organisation, she has been instrumental in building Collective’s artist representation model, anchoring it in trust, industry insight and long-term thinking, while deepening relationships across the talent ecosystem.
Jain has been elevated to partner to lead Marketing and Creative Services across the group. Her execution-first approach has helped turn the vertical into one of Collective’s fastest-growing businesses, solving complex creative challenges at scale while maintaining tight standards on quality and delivery.
Regulapati joins the partnership to lead Collective’s technology and AI charter, including Galleri5. Since joining the company, he has driven the integration of technology into storytelling and production systems, positioning Collective at the forefront of tech-enabled media and earning recognition from global technology players.
Commenting on the inductions, Collective Artists Network founder and Group CEO Vijay Subramaniam said the decision reflects the company’s focus on long-term leadership. He noted that Rawal, Jain and Regulapati have each played a critical role in shaping Collective’s journey so far, and their inclusion in the partnership signals where the organisation is headed next.
With this expanded leadership bench, Collective Artists Network is doubling down on an internal growth philosophy backing people who know the business intimately as it continues to chart new ground at the intersection of media, culture and technology.

List to spotlight 100 emerging leaders, gala set for December 2026 in Mumbai.
MUMBAI: It’s about time India’s next wave got a global spotlight and now, it’s on the list. New York-headquartered Time is expanding its TIME100 Next franchise to India, partnering with Reliance Industries Limited to launch TIME100 Next India, its first international extension of the rising leaders platform. The announcement was made at the Time100 Gala in New York by Jessica Sibley and Nita Mukesh Ambani, signalling a strategic push to tap into India’s growing influence across sectors.
The India edition will recognise 100 emerging leaders from the country and the global Indian diaspora, spanning business, science, sports, arts and social impact. The list will be curated by Time’s editorial team and published online, continuing the franchise’s focus on identifying individuals shaping the future.
The initiative will culminate in a gala event scheduled for December 2026 at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, anchoring the platform within India’s cultural and business ecosystem.
TIME’s broader Time100 franchise has steadily expanded its global footprint since 2021 through events and impact-led initiatives. Executives noted that India’s growing pool of influential voices and innovators made it a natural next step for the platform’s international ambitions.
For Reliance, the partnership aligns with its broader push to support emerging talent and ideas on a global stage. For Time, it marks a timely bet on India not just as a market, but as a talent engine shaping the next chapter of global leadership.
