Pride Month special Film – Admitted

The announcement of ‘Admitted’ in 2018 and launch in 2020 has been a huge milestone in spreading the word for diversity in Indian education. For this Pride Month, we hope that people continue to embrace the beauty of diverse mindsets, cultures and genders and grow together as a nurturing society that is conducive for equal education and equal opportunities for all.

Pinaka Mediaworks, believes in inclusion of diversity at workplaces as well as personal lives. We have always believed gender, cultural and ethnic diversities to be the source of innovation and to be the factors that introduce the extra in the ‘ordinary’.
