Whistling Woods International collaborates with Prahlad Kakar School of Branding & Entrepreneurship

Whistling Woods International expands its vision to becoming India’s premiere Media & Communication institute by joining hands with India’s veteran Ad Guru, Prahlad Kakar. The two visionaries, Subhash Ghai and Prahlad Kakar, today launched a unique institute, Prahlad Kakar School of Branding & Entrepreneurship (PKSBE) to introduce Business Entrepreneurship & Leadership programme to young aspiring students.

“With India riding high on Make In India and the Prime Minister Modi’s scheme to encourage start-ups in India — this programme comes in at the right time to encourage Indians to hone their talent as Entrepreneurs and Leaders”, said Meghna Ghai-Puri, President, Whistling Woods International.

A one-of-its-kind institute, PKSBE aims to inculcate an extraordinary concept of education that goes by the tagline, ’Beyond Fear’. This enterprise is aimed at all those young dreamers who want to follow their dream but are too scared to even articulate them.

The idea behind the launch of this school is to focus on making the students industry ready through their unique style of training. This platform will fulfill the need for a formal and constructive place where people can get together, develop a network and have a state-of-the-art infrastructure to help achieve their dreams.

Chairman and Founder of Whistling Woods International, Subhash Ghai, said, “We are extremely pleased to introduce Prahlad Kakar School of Branding and Entrepreneurship here at our campus. We are always seeking like-minded associations to enhance the training we can provide under the Whistling Woods International umbrella. While under our existing schools we have courses teaching film, communication, media arts, fashion and music, PKSBE will cover another important aspect of the media and entertainment-based education. We are hoping the unique approach of Prahlad will help people to look at entrepreneurship and training with a brand new lens.”

PKSBE is also committed to provide its students several opportunities and experiences through its path-breaking and rigorous activities like scuba diving, sky diving, mountaineering, global community programs, horse riding, golf, boot camps, reptile sensitisation (the stuff the nightmares are made of) etc. as part of the curriculum.

At PKSBE, the mentors will groom their students not just theoretically but by getting them to experience real life learning’s too. The institute’s eminent advisors & mentors include big names like Diwan Arun Nanda, Piyush Pandey, Capt. Gopinath, Lina Asher, Dhiraj Rajaram, Mahesh Murthy, Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, Dr. Velumani, Gary Kirsten, Raghu Ram & Rajiv Laxman, Chef Jolly, Jamling Norgay, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, amongst others and best of the mentors from the Genesis Film Production School.

Prahlad Kakar, Chairman & Founder, PKSBE said, “PKSBE aims at creating a whole new generation of professionals, who are fearless at decision-making, which will turn them into successful entrepreneurs. I believe that we are the sum total of all the fears that we collect subliminally as we grow. Our propensity for risk is governed by our courage and character to overcome the fear that we carry within us. Most potential entrepreneurs are risk averse because they are paralyzed not only by the fear of failing but also by the fear of fear itself. We have devised a curriculum where we subject our kids and future leaders to their greatest fears and help them to perform.”
