About me

Why I'm doing this for the community

After four years as a software engineer at Samsung Research, I took the jump to Teach For India — almost a decade ago now. It's still one of the most shaping experiences of my life.

What's stayed with me isn't just the fellowship itself. It's the community around it. I've received so much help from alumni and staff over the years, on every topic. The network is my go-to place for anything and everything that comes to mind — whatever I need, I put it out there and I know support will come.

So I've been thinking about how to give back.

For the past year I've been teaching people AI. I'm not someone who gives discounts — this is my full-time work, my bread and butter. But this isn't about that. With a lot of fellows on summer break, and some just having completed their fellowship and figuring out next steps, this felt like the right moment.

Those who've worked with me know how stringent I normally am on pricing. Even if I tried, I couldn't make it free for everyone — but this is what I can do in my personal capacity, at up to 72% off.

One thing I want to say clearly:take your own call on whether this is right for you. What I can promise from my side — if in Week 1 you feel this isn't the right fit, I give a 100% refund, no questions asked.

Registrations for this cohort are closed — thank you for the response. If you've been trying to learn AI and struggling to make headway, read what past participants have to say below, and drop me a note on WhatsApp if you'd like to be considered for a future community cohort.

Is this for you?

Let's make sure this is the right fit

This is for you if…

  • You're a self-starter — motivated, and you take ownership of your own work and learning.
  • You've been using AI casually for a year or more, and now want a structured understanding of what it takes to actually build with AI.
  • You learn by doing — hands-on workshops and real projects — not by binge-watching tutorials or podcasts.
  • Not having a technical background has been holding you back from getting more out of AI.
  • You reach out and seek support when you're stuck — instead of waiting for support to come to you.
  • You're willing to invest time, effort, and money to close the gap.

This is NOT for you if…

  • You need constant push, handholding, and external training to get work done.
  • You're looking to understand how ML algorithms and LLMs are built under the hood — this isn't a model-training or research course.
  • You just want a quick list of tips and tricks to be marginally more efficient at your current work.
  • You haven't really engaged with AI yet and are only casually curious — this course assumes you've already spent some real time with AI tools.
  • You're looking for a theoretical or academic program.
  • You expect someone else to build the AI tools for you.
