Stalwarts of the panel deliberated on the industry and the need to further organise the sector through such courses

Mumbai Educational Trust (MET), Bhujbal Knowledge City announced the launch of a specialised programme, the Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) focused on Media and Entertainment. The programme was inaugurated by the renowned poet and screenwriter, Mr. Javed Akhtar.

While speaking on the occasion, Mr. Akhtar said, “Earlier, people were not provided formal training. They learned on the job. We should be thankful to MET for filling in the void that was supposed to be filled by the government anyway.”

Mr. Akhtar also said, “There is an overload of information and knowledge, which is going fast for sure, but it is more cursory. If we are only going fast, we will only touch the surface level, and we will be fooled. There is a need for a balance between speed and depth. It is great that such a course is introduced by MET and I hope that they would find a balance between the two.”

Shri. Chhagan Bhujbal, Founder Chairman, MET, said, “Media and Entertainment are witnessing transformational changes, owing to the factors like mobile and internet surge. This leads to gainful opportunities for the young generation if they are trained well. Thus we envisaged PGDM Media & Entertainment, which is another step in the right direction to bridge that gap.”

The launch event also witnessed stars from the entertainment and media industry such as poet, actor, comedian and writer Mr. Shailesh Lodha, Film & Television Actor Mr. Swapnil Joshi, Actor, Director, Producer Mr. Addinath Kothare, Mr. Raj Kamble, Founder & CCO, Famous Innovation, Mr. Pramod Sharma, National Creative Director, Rediffusion Group, Mr. Ajit Wadikar, Director & Writer, ‘Y’ The film, Mr. Shrenik Gandhi, CEO, White River Digital. Among others was a panel of experts from the industry who discussed the current state of the industry and emphasised the necessity of enhancing the organization of the sector. The panel deliberated on the Business of Creativity and the need to build a network and grow credibility in the media and entertainment landscape.

Mr. Bobby Pawar, Chairman & Chief Creative Officer, Havas Group India, said, “Readers and viewers have become media itself because they share and react themselves. They have also been defining entertainment, which is equally good. Media and entertainment are not dying, it is in fact growing with every person.”

Mr. Akshay Bardapurkar, Famous Director and Founder of Planet Marathi said, “Media is the most unorganised sector which is being organised through the program, which is commendable.”

Mr. Kunal Vijaykar, the Broadcaster and Food Writer said that the communication tools are the same but technology has changed. “How you write, communicate, and share information remains the same. The basis and process of creativity remain relevant. Only the tools to play with changes,” he said.

Mumbai Educational Trust (MET)  Launches PGDM (Media & Entertainment) Programme At The Hands Of Javed Akhtar

Exclusive interview by Raja Sarfaraz

Well, We know MBA Chaewalla but what about a Girl working for so many years being a Topper and opted Art ? yes The Title of Miss Anuja Sahai is right  “MBA Nightingale “, In this particular research we came across to Know About a beautiful Glame Anuja Sahai well known for her Looks and Voice, She is A Multi-talented artist Equipped with Stage as well and Play Back X Factor with a panorama of Acting as well as Dancing Skills. This is an Inspiring Story and here we Go.

* Tell Us about your Tremendous Journey?

My journey has been a little weird and challenging. As an engineer (electronics & communication) with an MBA, I got an on-campus placement in an MNC named CBRE, but the entertainment industry was calling me and I always wanted to be into music. So when I came to Mumbai, I first started getting projects as an actor and Tv host and later I could establish myself as a singer.

So initially I used to come on and off to Mumbai and then later settled here.

Though my first break was in the Telugu film industry as a playback singer.

* What are the Challenges of Game-Changing battles?

I was always passionate about the glamour and entertainment industry but my parents had a different opinion about it. Moreover belonging to a medical and army background of a highly educated family, they wanted to keep music as just a hobby. Somewhere deep down within, I was not satisfied and continued my musical training while I was doing my engineering and MBA. It was when I started working I realised that it was high time I will have to choose my career otherwise I won’t be able to do justice to anything. The corporate world is very demanding and I ended up getting no time for my practice and performances.

* Being versatile you are Gifted multilingual and Blessed hows the experience?

I have sung in various languages out of which songs like Payal, Rajaji, Meera, Bitiya Hove Chiraiya, Pub G ki Game, Dil Hoom Hoom, Talash Khud Ki, Gallan Mahi Diya are loved all around.

The experience has been wonderful as all the songs are of different genres which made me do varied experiments with my songs giving me a chance to show my versatility.

* Your journey is Inspiring and A Miracle whats the X . Factor? What are Upcoming Projects?

My immense passion for this industry and my art keeps me going. Another important factor here is my family’s love and support always in thick and thin which keeps my morale high always.

Plus it was a decision made by me when I was so now anyways there is no looking back than to just keep going ahead with the flow successfully.

My upcoming projects include a few pop music videos and also some web series. The scripting has started but the names cannot be revealed now

*  Since you are an inspiration what’s your message to budding Songers and Sparkling Sound Family?

5. My first and foremost advice to the budding singers is to focus more on the continuous Riyaz. Normally we end up missing on our Riyaz and get more involved in struggling for new projects and networking and by the time we get some opportunity, we are not that ready to deliver the project effectively.

Secondly,  there is no shortcut to any dream, so don’t get misguided and carried away by the limelight of our industry and indulge yourself in any unsuitable activity.

I guess this piece of advice would be enough for now.

Actress ANUJA SAHAI – Yes I Don’t Have Boundaries To Art Im A Singer Actress And Dancer

डॉक्टर से उद्यमी बनीं डॉ. तान्या उन्नी अपने 4 साल के गहरे शोध कार्य के बाद अपने बीस्पोक स्किन केयर और हेयर केयर प्रोडक्ट्स के साथ सामने आई हैं। ये प्रोडक्ट्स उनके २०  वर्षों के अनुभव का परिणाम है, जो सबसे जिद्दी दाग का इलाज करने में मदद करने के लिए डिज़ाइन किए गए शक्तिशाली ऑल-इन-वन स्किनकेयर समाधान प्रदान करता है।

डॉ तान्या ने इस ब्रांड को १९ मार्च रविवार को जुहू मुम्बई के जेडब्ल्यू मैरियट में एक शानदार प्रोग्राम में लॉन्च किया, जिसकी मेजबानी डॉ. तान्या ने की जहां माननीय केंद्रीय मंत्री वी मुरलीधरन, ऑस्कर पुरस्कार विजेता रसूल पुकुट्टी, ऑस्ट्रेलियाई ट्रेज़र एवं मंत्री कैमरून डिक और पूर्व मिस इंडिया सयाली भगत जैसे विशिष्ट अतिथि ने ऑस्ट्रेलिया की इस कॉस्मेटिक स्किनकेयर बेस्पोक रेंज का अनावरण किया।

डॉ तान्या उन्नी का डॉ तान्या स्किनकेयर को भारतीय बाजार में लाने का फैसला उनकी भारतीय विरासत और परंपराओं से गहराई से जुड़े होने के कारण हुआ है, इसी वजह ने इस ब्रांड को आकार देने में मदद की है। वह आज जो भी हैं, अपनी परम्पराओं की वजह से हैं, और इसी कारण से अपने व्यापार को एक ऐसे देश में विस्तारित किया है जिसे वह हमेशा अपना घर बुलाती हैं, वह इस फैसले पर बेहद गौरवांवित महसूस करती हैं।

“भारतीय संस्कृति मेरी पहचान का एक महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा है। मुझे ऑस्ट्रेलिया में एक अविश्वसनीय स्किनकेयर रेंज विकसित करने के लिए इतनी मेहनत करने पर बहुत गर्व महसूस होता है, और अब मेरे जन्म स्थान भारत में इसे घर वापस लाने का अवसर वास्तव में विशेष है। दुनिया मे जहां भी मैं व्यवसाय करने के लिए भाग्यशाली हूं, लेकिन यह कभी भी आपके जन्म के देश में उन समान उपलब्धियों को प्राप्त करने जैसा महसूस नहीं होता है। एक मायने में, मुझे लगता है कि मैं घर आ वापस आ गई हूं, और यह एक बहुत ही खूबसूरत एहसास है।” डॉ. तान्या कहती हैं।

डॉ तान्या स्किनकेयर में, हम मानते हैं कि सभी प्रकार की त्वचा बेमिसाल है और उसी के लिए जश्न मनाया जाना चाहिए। कहीं भी कोई दो तरह की त्वचा की स्थिति नहीं है, जिसका अर्थ है कि लंबे समय तक चलने वाले परिणाम प्राप्त करने के लिए जल्दबाजी नहीं होनी चाहिए।

“एक भारतीय महिला के रूप में, मैं अपनी त्वचा को गहराई से समझती हूं और इसे निखारने के लिए क्या आवश्यक है, यह जानती हूं। जबकि स्किनकेयर को लोगों के लिए अनुकूलित किया जाना चाहिए, मैंने दुर्भाग्य से अनुभव किया है कि त्वचा की चिंताओं और मौसम की स्थिति का समर्थन करने के लिए कितने उत्पाद तैयार किए गए हैं जो हम भारत में अनुभव करते हैं। डॉ लान्या कहती हैं।

“डॉ तान्या के स्किनकेयर ओएसोफी का विस्तार देश के माध्यम से युगों पुराने लाभों के साथ गहराई से जुड़ा हुआ है। आयुर्वेदिक पद्धतियों के पुराने लाभों के साथ यह हमारी संस्कृति में जुड़ा हुआ है। मुंडे मीडिया पीआर ने मीडिया मैनेजमेंट की जिम्मेदारी बखूबी निभाई।
