Ormax Media Unveils Certification Program for M&E Professionals

Ormax Media, the leading media and entertainment sector insights and consulting firm, recently announced the launching of the 2025 edition of its 'Certificate Program in Indian Media Business' or CPIIMB. This program runs from February 22 to March 15, 2025, and it is aimed at filling gaps in knowledge that inspire career development within India's dynamic media and entertainment sector.

This offers a broad opportunity in the sector across streaming, cinema, television, sports, news, and media research. Yet, most aspirants fail due to unclear awareness of career paths within this field. Ormax Media, through CPIIMB, aims to fill in this gap by providing participants with practical insights, industry-specific knowledge, and valuable career guidance.

Shailesh Kapoor, founder and CEO of Ormax Media, highlighted 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 and 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 consists of eight hours of live online sessions, presented by the senior leadership team at Ormax Media. This includes Shailesh Kapoor, along with Keerat Grewal (Head of Business Development - Streaming, TV, and Brands), Sanket Kulkarni (Head of Business Development - Theatrical), Amit Bhatia (Head of Audience Tracking and Knowledge Center), Mitesh Thakkar (Head of Content and Campaign Testing), and Shreya Ramakrishnan (Group Head - Bespoke Research).

The curriculum covers topics from streaming platforms and theatrical releases to media analytics and industry trends, so participants will gain a holistic understanding of the ecosystem. Case studies, Q&A sessions, and career guidance are key elements of the curriculum.

Upon completion, participants will receive a digital certificate from Ormax Media. Kapoor mentioned, “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 Rs 29,900, with exclusive discounts offered to students.
