Why did I build an exclusive AI course for senior IT professionals?

I’ve been teaching in different forms since 2005, from Maths to school students, to coding to engineering students, and later Digital Marketing to working professionals.

Over the years, one thing became clear to me: good teaching is less about content, and more about how people think.

When I started learning AI myself, through well-known courses and self-study – I realised that many concepts were being taught in a way that didn’t work well for experienced professionals.

The material was too detached from the industry and assumed that everyone wanted to start from mathematical theory.

As I spoke at tech forums, I noticed a pattern in the questions I received from senior professionals:

  • Can AI be learned without going deep into maths?
  • How long does it realistically take?
  • What is actually relevant for someone building or leading systems?

I looked for programs that addressed these questions well and couldn’t find any that truly did.

That gap is what led me to build a focused, continuously evolving course designed for professionals who want to apply AI in real systems, make informed decisions, and lead AI initiatives.

Google recognised Developer Expert for AI

I am a Google Developer Expert for AI. It’s not a certificate.

Google identifies practitioners with deep technical expertise and proven real-world impact in their field.

This recognition is based on technical contribution, industry work, and community impact, not paid affiliations or certifications.

Currently, there are only 87 GDEs in India.

Felicitation from the Chief Minister of Rajasthan – Mr Ashok Gehlot
