Ormax Media launches Certificate Program in Indian Media Business
Mumbai: Entering its 17th year of providing insights to the Indian Media & Entertainment (M&E) industry, media consulting firm Ormax Media has announced its foray into the learning & education domain, with the launch of Certificate Program in Indian Media Business, an online certification course, available separately for students and executives. The program is Ormax Media’s endeavour to help those interested in an M&E career in India make more informed decisions and learn more about the industry from Ormax Media’s team of experts.
Certificate Program in Indian Media Business offers participants a comprehensive overview of the Indian M&E industry, from a content, marketing, monetisation and distribution perspective. Ormax Media collaborates with over 95 top media & entertainment brands, offering deep industry insights that extend beyond theoretical knowledge. This extensive experience will provide participants with practical understanding and expertise, ensuring they are well-prepared to succeed in the dynamic world of media and entertainment.
The courses, which start from 27 August 2024, will be available in different batches, with limited seats available in each batch. Upon successfully completing the course, participants will receive a digital certificate from Ormax Media, which would serve as a valuable credential that can open doors in the Indian media & entertainment industry.
Speaking about the launch of its new education initiative, Ormax Media founder & CEO Shailesh Kapoor said: “Over the last decade, the interest in building a career in the Indian M&E industry has grown significantly. Media companies are now engaging actively with many business schools for placements and internships, and at the same time, we are seeing many young executives make lateral shifts from their marketing, finance or consulting industry jobs to M&E. Despite this growing interest, the amount of credible information on the Indian M&E industry available in the public domain is alarmingly low. This program is our effort to enable such aspirants to take more informed decisions related to their career. At the same time, the program is equally relevant for those who have just entered the industry, as it can fast-track their industry knowledge considerably”.

Boeing appoints Barun as head of FP&A for global engineering function
Seasoned finance leader to steer budgets and strategy across global centres
BENGALURU: Boeing’s finance cockpit has a new pilot, and he is no stranger to turbulence or transformation. Boeing has appointed Barun as head of FP&A for global engineering, placing him at the centre of financial strategy for its worldwide engineering and technology operations.
Based in Bengaluru, Barun steps into a role that is as expansive as it is critical. He will serve as the primary finance lead for Boeing’s Engineering and Technology Centers globally, working closely with executive leadership to shape financial decisions, manage complex budgets, and design scalable finance processes that support the company’s growing engineering footprint.
In a note announcing his move Barun said, “I’m excited to share that I’ve joined Boeing Global Engineering. This opportunity is incredibly meaningful to me not just from a professional standpoint, but also for what Boeing represents globally.” He added that he looks forward to contributing to an organisation that continues to shape the future of aerospace and innovation.
Barun’s mandate spans strategic financial leadership, operational oversight, and stakeholder engagement. From directing large-scale budgets and schedules to influencing long-term organisational goals, the role blends financial discipline with business foresight. He will also lead cross-functional teams and partner with finance colleagues worldwide to support engineering programmes across geographies, including India.
The appointment caps a long stint at Juniper Networks, where Barun spent over a decade, most recently as finance senior manager. There, he led FP&A for global product business units and G&A functions, driving budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning. He also played a key role in enterprise-wide transformation, including spearheading an Oracle to SAP ERP migration and building advanced analytics capabilities using tools such as Tableau and SAP Analytics Cloud.
His earlier career includes finance leadership roles at Sony India Software Centre, Cognizant Technology Solutions, and Mphasis, where he focused on financial planning, governance frameworks, and operational efficiency across global delivery centres.
A chartered accountant from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, Barun brings nearly two decades of experience across financial planning, digital transformation, and analytics-led decision making.
His appointment comes at a time when global engineering operations are becoming increasingly complex and distributed, requiring sharper financial oversight and agile planning. With Barun at the helm of FP&A for engineering, Boeing appears to be tightening its financial playbook as it looks to scale innovation with discipline.
