Build it. Ship it. Show it.
No slides-only theory — every week turns into something real you keep.
Every module ends in something you make — a working project, not a quiz.
You deploy and publish real work to a live link or repo you own.
You graduate with a portfolio you can put in front of an employer or client.
A practitioner, not a lecturer.
You learn the workflow your instructor actually runs in production — every session ends with something working, not a slide.

Where applied-AI talent gets hired
Pick the track that fits you.
A good fit beats the loudest option. Here is who this track suits, and who it does not suit yet.
- You have a real idea and want to walk out with a working AI-powered MVP, not just notes.
- You can commit 20 focused weeks and show up for a selective, build-alongside cohort.
- You're comfortable enough with tech to assemble tools and learn fast as you build.
- You want to pitch with confidence: a clear story, a demo, and the basics of who it's for.
- You're ready to test your idea with real users, not wait until it feels perfect.
- Brand-new to AI and money is tight: start with the ₹99 Sunday Series.
- You need solid fundamentals first: the 8-week Applied AI Foundations primer sets you up well.
- You're still exploring whether building is for you: try the free 2-minute path finder at /counsel.
- You don't have an idea or the time to build yet: the Sunday Series is a gentler first step.
- You're looking for funding: this is a paid training and mentorship program, not an accelerator — we don't invest, take equity, or write a cheque at the end.
