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.
