Mumbai: Ormax Media, an insights and consulting firm for the media and entertainment (M&E) industry, has announced the launch of the 2025 edition of its Certificate Program in Indian Media Business (CPIIMB). Scheduled to run from February 22 to March 15, 2025, the program aims to bridge the knowledge gap and inspire career aspirations in India’s rapidly growing M&E sector.
The Indian M&E industry, encompassing streaming, cinema, television, sports, news, and media research, offers a wealth of opportunities. However, many aspiring professionals lack structured awareness about career paths in this field. CPIIMB seeks to address this gap by equipping participants with practical insights, industry knowledge, and career guidance.
Shailesh Kapoor, Founder & CEO of Ormax Media, explained the program’s mission: “The Indian media and entertainment industry is a vibrant space brimming with opportunities. Based on our research, an estimated 2 million Indians are considering a media & entertainment career at any given time, across creative and business roles. However, many talented prospects remain unaware of the career paths available in this sector. With this program, we aim to create awareness, provide practical knowledge, and inspire a new generation of professionals to build successful careers in this exciting industry. Equally, the course is invaluable for those already in this industry, to upscale themselves by getting exposed to cross-domain knowledge and practical industry insights.”
The program includes eight hours of live online sessions conducted by Ormax Media’s senior leadership team. Faculty members include Shailesh Kapoor, Keerat Grewal (Head: Business Development – Streaming, TV & Brands), Sanket Kulkarni (Head: Business Development – Theatrical), Amit Bhatia (Head: Audience Tracking & Knowledge Center), Mitesh Thakkar (Head: Content & Campaign Testing), and Shreya Ramakrishnan (Group Head – Bespoke Research).
The curriculum offers comprehensive insights into topics such as streaming platforms, theatrical releases, media analytics, and industry trends. It incorporates interactive case studies, Q&A sessions, and career guidance to provide participants with a well-rounded understanding of the ecosystem.
Participants will receive a prestigious digital certificate upon completing the program, recognized by leading media organizations. Kapoor added: “The certification not only validates participants’ expertise but also positions them strongly for internships and job interviews with top media companies across India.”
The program fee is ₹29,900, with special discounts available for students. For more information and to access the course brochure, visit Ormax Media’s website.
