The General Management Programme on Entertainment & Media Business (GEM) is a certificate programme that has been structured around two main blocks of managing the creative process in entertainment and the business of entertainment.
Programme Overview
The Entertainment industry is a fast-growing business segment. The last two decades have seen large scale corporatisation of the satellite TV business and feature film business. The COVID induced lockdown has resulted in a high consumption of the visual media. The OTT business has seen an exponential increase of user base, this has also meant OTT platforms have increased their production spends dramatically. However there are no courses that specialise in Media and Entertainment Management programme. There is an urgent need to train and equip young managers with unique skill sets to do well in this fast changing field.
The course provides a framework for understanding the key marketing and strategic issues facing organizations in the entertainment industry. Key sectors of the entertainment industry are covered, focusing on OTT, feature films, television, e-sports, animation and VFX, music, performing arts, and publishing.
The course provides a framework for understanding the dynamics of producing a finished creative product in the entertainment and media industry. All the facets of the production process are explored, including script selection, finance, budgeting, timetable development, team building, talent selection, contract negotiation, regulation, and technology. This course also takes a comprehensive look at the world of marketing in the entertainment industry as it is practiced today and how it will change in the television and advertising fields.

Prof Raghunath is an institution in himself and along with Mr Rajiv Menon, has curated a course which covers all businesses in the media industry – how it runs and how it can be revived. Through this programme, we got an array framework as to how to solve media
business problems. Prof. Raghunath brought Industry veterans like Rajiv Menon and Dilip Mehta – along with many executives who are running television, advertising, music and film business. As I was already
engaged in several projects during the course of this programme, I was able to manage my time while using and implementing the learnings from this course.

The program gave me a deep understanding of the industry and equipped me with the skills to lead and manage effectively. The opportunity to network with industry professionals has been invaluable.

General Management in Media and Entertainment course offered by IIM Bangalore is a holistic program which covers both the business and creative aspects of entertainment business. The course which covers
Strategy, Operations, Marketing, Finance and Legal aspects of the business, has participants with vast industry experience and exposure and due to this the class interactions have been enriching. We were exposed to the basics of creative domains such as lighting, art direction, and production as well which was possible because of industry speakers/lecturers.
This was an outstanding learning experience! The programme was well-structured, engaging, and comprehensive. One of the things I appreciated the most about the course was the practical approach
it took while teaching entertainment and media management. The instructors didn’t just cover theoretical concepts but also gave real-life examples and case studies to help us understand how these concepts apply in the real world. This made the course incredibly relevant and useful. I also enjoyed the variety of topics covered in the course. From marketing and promotion to contract negotiation and intellectual property law, the course covered a broad range of topics that are essential for anyone interested in a career in entertainment and media management.

I am excited and eager to implement my newfound knowledge in the world of entertainment.
The Programme is a balanced certification for working professionals who are interested in building a career in the high growth Media and Entertainment Industry as it combines the art of creating content and the business of promoting content. I greatly benefitted with valuable insights into the end-to-end process of the media and entertainment business. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Prof. S.
Raghunath, Mr Rajiv Menon and all the guest faculties for sharing their knowledge and experience.
I come from a creative background and even though I have very strong roots in this sector, I wanted something that would legitimise my skills and make me stand apart in the industry as a professional. I happened to find this programme at that transitory phase in my life right after I completed business school. Since our speakers were all seasoned industry professionals, I think it was tremendously valuable to be able to learn from the people at the very centre of it all. The sessions were delivered in form of interactive learning sessions and an active participation. It helped us tap into ourselves which helped me discover more about the way I operate. I was also able to meet some amazing peers in this short span of our learning journey and I am excited to see what we’ll come up with in the future.
Top-notch faculty, contemporary content, a great learning environment, and application orientation make the IIMB Exec Ed programmes world-class.
