Pranav Rai never wanted to take over his father’s company, Pyramid Housing. He wanted to be an actor. But little does he know that he is about to perform the role of a lifetime. The Acting MD is the story of a naïve young man’s transformation into the quintessential businessman.

Thrust into the world of Indian real estate, Pranav feels completely lost. This is a high-stakes industry where the rules can be bent or even broken for the right price. From embezzling executives to the corporate giant, The VNM Group, Pyramid has threats all around it. When a hostile takeover seems imminent, Pranav’s only way out is Indus City – a township project like nothing else the country has seen before.

But what skill does Pranav, an aspiring actor, possess to run a business? What chance does he stand against the corporate bullies?
