IIM MUMBAI x KKALA - 90 Minutes Webinar
Rethinking careers in the Creative Economy
IIM Mumbai × KKALA
📅 7th May 2025 | ⏰ 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM IST | 💻 Online Webinar
The orange economy — creative industries, cultural industries, the economy built on ideas and expression — contributes over $2 trillion globally. In India, it is one of the fastest-growing sectors. And yet, most career conversations still treat it like a backup plan.
We're here to change that.
This is a closed, intimate webinar for creative professionals, entrepreneurs, and anyone standing at the intersection of craft and commerce — wondering how to turn what they do into something that actually scales.
What You'll Walk Away With
The mindset shift from "I have a skill" to "I have a business"
A practical map of sustainable income models in the creative economy
How to land your first real paying client
What separates people who build something lasting from those stuck gig-to-gig
An honest look at what building a career in the orange economy actually requires
