Executives

Dear Students, Faculty, and Industry Partners,

Welcome to Lexicon MILE, where we are committed to redefining the educational experience in management studies. Our mission is to empower students with the knowledge, skills, and innovative mindset required to excel in today's dynamic business environment.

As your Director, I bring a wealth of experience in academic leadership and industry collaboration, along with a Ph.D. in Social Media Marketing. My journey in academia has been driven by a passion for integrating cutting-edge research with practical applications. I believe that a strong educational foundation, combined with real-world insights, is essential for developing the next generation of leaders.

At Lexicon MILE, we pride ourselves on our rigorous curriculum, which is designed to foster critical thinking, creativity, and ethical decision-making. Our dynamic learning methodologies emphasize experiential learning, ensuring that students are not only prepared for academic success but also equipped to tackle the challenges of a global marketplace.

Collaboration is at the heart of our approach. By forging strong partnerships with industry leaders, we provide students with unique opportunities for internships, networking, and hands-on projects that enhance their learning experience and career readiness.

As we continue to innovate and expand our offerings, I encourage each of you to embrace the journey ahead. Together, let's strive for excellence, push the boundaries of knowledge, and make a meaningful impact in the world of business. Thank you for being part of the Lexicon MILE community.

The phrase, 'The pen is mightier than the sword' first appeared in an 1839 play - Cardinal Richelieu by the British playwright Edward Bulwer-Lytton. Since then, the pen, a figure of speech for a free Press, has on many occasions proved to be a formidable force even defining the state of a nation.

A reaffirmation of media's basic ideals has become a necessity given just how inundated we are with information of all kinds, from all sides today. Having a well- trained and passionate media fraternity (press, marketing and advertising included) should be a given if all aspects of our media are to thrive.

That being said, launching an institute, the Lexicon MILE Department of Media & Animation (Formerly Lexicon IMA) in this case, to create media personnel who can fructify their client's marketing and publicity goals and train journalists to report truthfully and objectively is a responsibility that requires determination and idealism. Fortunately, as the Lexicon Group's past achievements indicate, the group has an equal mix of both. The institute's philosophy of 'Creating Media's next generation of thought leaders' is also an honest reflection of its commitment to the public and nation at large.

The in-built curiosity in us humans, naturally attunes us to knowing about the events and happenings around us. Media and its many manifestations simply refine this basic instinct and help us understand our world better.

Since we began work on the Lexicon Institute of Media & Animation, the team has intentionally revisited global and national media and advertising milieus. The introspection not only gave us a deeper understanding of the predominant and underlying media currents but also gave credence to our intent to set up an institute that efficaciously addresses the full spectrum of current and future media and mass communication perspectives. It also led to the development of our dynamic curriculum that supports all our program offerings-be it the 3 Year Program in Animation & Media Studies, 2 Year Program in Media Studies or our certification courses dealing in digital and new media opportunities.

While there is no denying that our goal is to build an institution that sets a standard for others to follow, the driving force remains the passion to be a part of a flourishing media and marketing world. Taking on a role as educators and facilitators to future media professionals is one that comes with great responsibility considering the hair-splitting subtleties that drive public opinion. However, it's a role we are well equipped to take on.

The Institute of Media & Animation is backed by Lexicon Group's strong focus on academics. The fact that our esteemed governing and advisory board members, all of whom have done path breaking work in their fields, are just as passionate about providing superlative education is a huge boost to our enthusiasm. Further, our ever-growing number of national and international academic partnerships ensures our students are exposed to varied real-life experiences as well.

Do connect with me and my team to know more. We are excited and can't wait to welcome students onboard. What you learn here, will take you places!
