Entering its 17th year of providing insights to the Indian media and entertainment industry, media consulting firm Ormax Media has announced its foray into the learning and education domain, with the launch of the ‘Certificate Program in Indian Media Business’, an online certification course, available separately for students and executives.
The courses, available at ₹24,500 for students and ₹44,500 for executives, will be held over 10 online sessions of one hour each, and will be conducted by senior Ormax Media team members. The first batch is scheduled to begin on August 27.
Speaking about the launch of its new education initiative, Shailesh Kapoor, Founder & CEO, Ormax Media, said: “Over the last decade, the interest in building a career in the Indian M&E industry has grown significantly. Media companies are now engaging actively with many business schools for placements and internships, and at the same time, we are seeing many young executives make lateral shifts from their marketing, finance or consulting industry jobs to M&E. Despite this growing interest, the amount of credible information on the Indian M&E industry available in the public domain is alarmingly low. This program is our effort to enable such aspirants take more informed decisions related to their career. At the same time, the program is equally relevant for those who have just entered the industry, as it can fast-track their industry knowledge considerably.”
