What they do

TimBuckDo is a student gig discovery platform that connects college students with flexible part-time jobs and real-world work opportunities

What happened

The company partnered with multiplex operator PVR INOX to launch ‘Cine Career’, an immersive learning program in cinema business operations

Why it matters

The initiative supplies participants with hands-on practice, organized learning paths, and formal credentials to connect classroom studies with job readiness

The details

  • Multiplex operator PVR INOX launched an experiential learning initiative named ‘Cine Career’ in association with student gig platform TimBuckDo on 2026-01-31.
  • The program offers students on-ground learning experiences covering cinema operations, film distribution, box office processes, and food and beverage management.
  • The initiative aims to connect academic theory with workplace employability through practical training inside functional movie halls.
  • The program rolls out in Bengaluru and Mysuru before expanding to other cities across the country.
  • Participants can choose between a 4-day Foundation Track priced at Rs. 999 and a 7-day Advanced Track priced at Rs. 1499.
  • Students receive a joint TimBuckDo X PVR INOX certificate, branded merchandise, and priority consideration for future internships and hiring upon completion.

The bigger picture

  • Traditional film courses focus heavily on direction, editing, or theory while ignoring the massive business operations that occur after a movie is made.
  • The collaboration provides students with direct exposure to live multiplex environments instead of simulated case studies.

About the business

  • TimBuckDo is a digital platform connecting college students with flexible part-time jobs, promotional campaigns, and earning opportunities.
  • The platform features diverse gigs including delivery executive, telecaller, graphic designer, content creator, event management, and retail staff.
  • It helps students earn money, build practical skills, and gain professional experience alongside their college schedules.
  • TimBuckDo partners with various corporate entities and retail brands to curate student-friendly earning and discount opportunities.
