MBA in media and entertainment
The Indian media and entertainment industry is expected to grow at a 19 per cent Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) to reach an overall value of Rs. 1.15 trillion by 2012 from its present size of Rs. 513 billion, according to a report published by PWC for the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry.
