Kshitij Mehta to lead Motion Pictures and Ratpack Stories at Collective Artists Network

New Delhi: Collective Artists Network has appointed Kshitij Mehta, Partner at the company, to lead its Motion Pictures division as well as Ratpack Stories, one of the three content verticals under Collective Studios, the organisation’s unified content studio.

Collective Studios consolidates the company’s original storytelling across platforms and formats, including Ratpack Stories, Terribly Tiny Tales and Historyverse. Ratpack Stories serves as the company’s film-focused production arm, supporting creator-led, commercially oriented projects for theatrical and streaming platforms.

In his expanded role, Mehta will oversee the end-to-end motion pictures slate, including literary, casting, and development of original projects under Ratpack Stories. The mandate involves building a filmmaker-first production structure that works closely with Collective’s talent ecosystem while collaborating across the wider industry.

Speaking on the announcement, Vijay Subramaniam, Founder and Group CEO, Collective Artists Network, said, “Kshitij has been instrumental in shaping how we think about films and long-term creative partnerships. As we build Collective Studios into a home for distinct storytelling verticals, it was important for Ratpack Stories to have clear leadership and intent. Kshitij brings both creative instinct and operational clarity to that role.”

Kshitij Mehta, Partner, Collective Artists Network, added, “Ratpack Stories is about backing strong voices and building films with intent and ambition. Leading motion pictures alongside Ratpack allows us to approach projects more cohesively, from talent to storytelling to execution, while staying true to the kind of work we want to put into the world.”

The appointment is part of Collective Artists Network’s broader strategy to strengthen its content verticals under Collective Studios, each with dedicated leadership and a creative mandate, while expanding its role as a media network spanning talent, content, and culture.
