The Program will be delivered in a hybrid format where students can learn concepts in a self-paced manner at their convenience and doubts can be solved through live sessions by industry experts from Mindler and PUMA respectively.

In partnership with PUMA, Mindler is providing a solution which is extremely relevant in today's time.

The program module contains simulations and role-play to help students understand how it is to work in the marketing department at PUMA.

Our collaboration with PUMA, a global marketing giant and one of the top brands in the world, will provide students an opportunity to understand how PUMA markets its products and creates ad campaigns."
