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.

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

The significance of numbers and alphabets when predicted rightly  gives a glimpse of the future of the concerned and the consulting  person and that is what famous numerologist Nitaa Chhabriaa does with such accuracy that she already has an  impressive clientele list and her popularity in taking her expertise in the field of numerology is  increasing day by day.

Recently, Nitaa Chhabriaa accurately predicted the Oscar wins for RRR and The Elephant Whisperers. Yes, you heard it right! While the world was thinking whether both the Oscar nominated Indian  films would be able to win Oscars or not, Nitaa was 100% sure about India’s glory at the Oscars this time. It might have surprised many but for her predicting the biggest events of life is a very easy task.

Elated about her prediction about India getting two Oscars coming true Nitaa said, “This is the new era for Indian films. This was the 95th Oscars Ceremony so the ‘network’ of the film comes to 5 and this number supports the film fantastically. There was already a high chance of RRR and The Elephant Wispherers to win Oscars and make India proud with their victories. And that is what exactly has happened.” She further says, “9+5 = 14 and the total of 1+4 comes to 5 which basically means ‘network’. 5 has a vibration value of ‘network’ and so this time our networking has worked big time in our favour. Day by day our networking is becoming stronger and its reach is increasing at a rapid pace. Hence, this is the beginning of the new era for our Indian films”.

Nitaa Chhabriaa not only accurately predicted our shot to fame at Oscars but she also claims that she knew about the decent box office returns  of Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor movie ‘Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar’. The vibration value of this film is 63 which when added separately (6+3) comes to 9 which proved to be a lucky number for the film.

Notably, The clientele list of Nitaa Chhabriaa not only consists of impressive people from all walks of life who have tremendous faith in her numerological predictions but many Bollywood celebrities too are her clients who take  her numerological  services on a regular basis. “Yes, it is true that many Bollywood celebs are also my clients but I can’t take names of any of them for obvious reasons”, says Nitaa smilingly.

Interestingly, she is a  practicing numerologist  since last 12 years but it has never been just a profession for her. She is equally passionate about numerology and calls it her ‘first and only love’ apart from her family. And it shows the way she handles each and every client of her irrespective of whether someone is an ordinary person or a big industralist or any movie star. She takes personal care of each of her client and gives them the best advice possible. “Making my clients is my only motto in life.”

Nitaa Chhabriaa obviously don’t consider any of her client as her ‘patient’ but she likes to take care of her clients as a ‘doctor’. Talking about the dimension she shares with her clients Nitaa said, “A doctor is a person who is always concerned about his/her patients and that is the exact way how I take care of my clients. I don’t believe in taking just a 45 minute session to advise  my client but I also guide them through their problems and stay with them till their problem is resolved and they feel better after taking my services. I believe in giving true value for their money and that is the satisfaction I get through my profession which is my passion too.”

Nitaa’s forte is not numerology alone but she is also an expert in pranic healing, signature and visiting card analysis, grapholoy, crystal healing, neuro-linguistic programming and counselling, vastu consultation, aroma healing and above all she is also a great motivational speaker! “Donning so many hats at the same time gives me a high which I can’t express in words. Unless, everything I know helps all my clients and make  their life and future better, nothing ever is going to bother me”, she signs off in style.

This Is How Numerologist Nitaa Chhabriaa Predicted Oscar Wins For RRR And The Elephant Whisperers

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.
