About

Most AI trainers have never deployed AI at scale. I have.

Here’s what nobody selling AI courses will tell you:

Knowing ChatGPT prompts is not AI adoption. That’s like calling yourself a driver because you know where the steering wheel is.

Real adoption is identifying which of your 47 workflows are bleeding time. It’s convincing a skeptical CFO. It’s deploying a voice agent that actually works at scale.

The “Learn AI in a Weekend” crowd hasn’t done any of this. The faculty who spent 2022 writing op-eds about AI’s dangers definitely hasn’t.

I have.

I set up the AI vertical at Jaipuria Group — what started as a Centre of Excellence is now Gradeless.AI, a leading voice AI provider. I also created its flagship product, Rehearsal AI, which helps institutional and corporate L&D teams train users on human-skills autonomously — without human or trainer intervention.

In my spare time, I teach GenAI strategy at India’s top B-schools — XLRI, IIM Nagpur, MDI Gurgaon, and others.

My programmes are different. If you’ve sent your teams for GenAI training only for them to come back and use ChatGPT for emails and PPTs, you know something is missing.

I teach that something.
