MICA has a history of producing exceptional talent, with some of them now part of our team at Panga. We hope to enhance this collaboration by sharing our extensive industry experience gained from working with top brands”

Apart from gaining exposure and recognition for their problem-solving skills, this training fosters mentorship connections and builds valuable networks, enriching the learning journey for enhanced outcomes. Learners also gain insights into potential career paths and firsthand experience in understanding the corporate culture.

“Experiential learning is witnessing high demand from professionals and freshers alike due to its interactive nature – also allowing them to engage in authentic environments. We have developed a new-age / reverse-engineered pedagogy with MICA Ahmedabad to ensure that the skills learned during the program reciprocate market needs. Therefore, this inclusive add-on will only propel accurate learning and stronger applied training,” said Mayank Kumar, Co-founder & MD, upGrad. In fact, our YoY sign-ups have remained robust as every 10 minutes in FY24, we have observed learners sign up for Digital Marketing programs (free and paid) on our platform – which will continue to soar,” he concluded.
