Before you enrol

Who are these programs for?

Career switchers, fresh graduates and working professionals who want to move into digital marketing. The teaching covers the whole stack: SEO, paid media, analytics, AI, web development and content.

How long is each cohort?

Most cohorts run 12–16 weeks. The pace depends on the batch. Some are intensive and full-time; others run on weekends or evenings for working professionals.

Is there a placement guarantee?

No honest program guarantees a job. I do guarantee weekly feedback, mock interviews, portfolio reviews and warm introductions to my network.

What makes this different from other courses?

I teach what I ship, so the curriculum comes from live client work. I am a government-certified Digital Marketing Trainer under Skill India (MESC/NSDC, NSQF Level 6), which is a national accreditation and can be verified. Students work on real client briefs. I also stay available after graduation, and most alumni still text me when something at work goes sideways.

Can I join from outside Mumbai?

Yes. Hybrid and online cohorts run regularly. Several alumni joined from Dubai, Pune, and Bengaluru on weekend calls and did just as well.

What does "free mentorship" mean?

The mentorship program is separate from the paid cohorts I have taught, including those at IIDE. It is free for Mumbai-based professionals switching into digital marketing or IT. See the mentorship page for details.
