Re: Application for Operations / Project Management Role – Media & Entertainment Sector
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my keen interest in joining your organisation in Dubai. With over 7 years of specialised
experience at the Media & Entertainment Skills Council of India (MESC) — the apex body under the Ministry
of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE) governing skill development for India's media and
entertainment industry — I bring deep expertise in managing government-funded training programs, industry-
linked certifications, and large-scale workforce development projects across the M&E sector. I am excited by
the opportunity to bring this niche background to Dubai's rapidly growing creative and entertainment
ecosystem.
As Senior Manager – Operations at MESC, I have led end-to-end delivery of skill development programs
specifically designed for job roles within the media and entertainment industry. My portfolio includes projects
such as:
• Sankalp – Heritage Lens: A flagship project training photographers and visual content creators in heritage
documentation, directly aligned to MESC's National Occupational Standards (NOS) for M&E job roles.
• SMILE / NISD & NIEPVD Projects: Implemented skill training programs under the Ministry of Social
Justice and Empowerment for transgender, visually impaired, hearing impaired, and locomotor-disabled
candidates in the Media & Entertainment sector.
Focused on job-oriented roles like Makeup Artist, Hairdresser, Social Media Executive, Sound Designer,
and Video Blogger with industry-relevant practical training.
• State Projects (Tripura, West Bengal, Odisha, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra etc.): Multi-
state M&E skill training rollouts covering job roles including camera operations, lighting technicians,
film production assistants, and event management professionals, linked to NSQF-aligned certification
and industry placement.
• CSR Projects (Megha Engineering & Infrastructures Ltd, SIDBI & BOSCH): Delivered corporate-
funded skill programs targeting underserved youth in media-related trades, managing end-to-end
execution from beneficiary mobilisation to placement linkage and impact assessment.
• PMKUVA – Maharashtra & NSKFDC / NSFDC / NBCFDC / DAY-NULM: Managed skilling
initiatives focused on M&E sector job roles for minority, SC/ST, and urban livelihood communities,
ensuring NSDC compliance and real-time government portal reporting on SIDH and PMDaksh.
Across all these projects, my core operational responsibilities have included drafting EOIs, DPRs, RFPs, and
MoUs; onboarding and managing training partners and industry-certified trainers; overseeing training centre
infrastructure readiness; managing fund utilisation and compliance documentation; and submitting progress
reports and utilisation certificates to concerned ministries. This breadth of experience has given me a thorough
understanding of both the operational mechanics and the industry-specific content requirements of media and
entertainment skill development.

Dubai's position as a global hub for film production, broadcasting, digital media, live events, and creative
industries makes it an ideal environment for my experience to add real value. Whether it is supporting a training
academy, a government human capital initiative, a production company, or an M&E industry body, I am
confident that my specialised background in workforce development, compliance management, and multi-
stakeholder coordination within the media and entertainment sector will be a strong fit.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my background can contribute to your organisation's goals. I
am fully available for relocation to the UAE and open to Employment Visa sponsorship. Please find my CV
enclosed and feel free to contact me at your convenience.
Yours sincerely,
Ankur Kumar
Operations Manager | Media & Entertainment Skill Development |
