Under this partnership, MSU will provide industry-aligned UGC-recognised BVoc (Bachelors of Vocation) Courses in Cosmetology and Makeup Artistry for professionals in beauty and wellness sector.

This partnership is a step towards transformative precedent in a predominantly unorganised and skill-heavy industry where a huge amount of number lacks the formal qualification, irrespective of their expertise. While addressing the key gap, the sector has been limited to short-term skill-based courses leaving a void in educational qualifications.

Pravesh Dudani, Founder and Chancellor of Medhavi Skills University on this occasion said, “This collaboration marks a significant leap in formalising the unorganised beauty and wellness sector, offering students a clear path to higher education. By aligning with NEP 2020, our programmes blend theoretical knowledge with practical skills, placing 70% emphasis on real-world application. The flexibility in entry and exit points, as outlined in the NEP, ensures that learners from diverse backgrounds can benefit. This industry-immersive approach, with Orane’s 120 training centres, will address unorganised employment and raise professional standards across the sector."
