The MMBA is the first time in India that students have access to an international-standard program teaching management for film,TV, animation and media.

Overview

The Indian Film, Media and Entertainment industry has gone through some remarkable transformations over the last five years. Two of these transformations radically change the nature of management recruitment within the industry.

Firstly, the industry is becoming increasingly ‘corporatised’. This means that large, professionally run companies, such as Reliance, are moving aggressively into media.

Secondly, the industry is becoming increasingly international. Many Indian media companies now have offices and business interests abroad and we are seeing a growing number of international co-productions – media companies in different countries working together to create and distribute content.

What does this mean for recruitment? It means that companies are looking for intelligent, professionally trained managers who have a core understanding of the film, media and entertainment industry. Essentially, MBAs in film and media management.

To answer this need, we have created a unique management degree. We blend curriculum and faculty from top business schools as well as our own Graduate School of Film + Media, to create an MBA that combines hands-on film and TV production with management, finance and marketing training. Additionally, through our Film Fund, students have the opportunity to work on real commercial projects as part of their course.

Give yourself the career edge you need, with an MBA from Asia’s largest film and media school, AISFM.
