From spreadsheets to shipping AI
I started out as a self-taught analyst wrangling messy spreadsheets, fell in love with machine learning, and spent a decade shipping data and AI systems in production. Today I teach the exact playbook I wish I had: build real projects, understand the fundamentals, and learn to wield modern AI tooling like an engineer — not a spectator.
My mission
To make world-class AI education accessible, practical, and outcome-driven — so anyone with the drive can build a career at the frontier of technology.

I joined with zero coding background and within two months I had built and deployed real ML projects. The live mentorship makes all the difference — every doubt was cleared the same day. I landed a data analyst role right after.
location_onLondon, UK
Easily the best AI program I have taken, and I have tried a few. It is 100% live and completely build-first — I shipped a working RAG app and an autonomous agent I now use at work. Worth every penny.
location_onAustin, USA
The build-first approach is exactly what I needed — no fluff, no endless theory, just real projects with a mentor who genuinely cares. I went from marketing to an AI engineering role in under four months.

From "I cannot code" to deploying my own apps. The classes are practical, the community is incredibly supportive, and the project portfolio genuinely helped me clear interviews. Highly recommended.

The Power BI and analytics track transformed how I work. Within weeks I was building dashboards my whole team now relies on. Clear teaching, real datasets and brilliant support throughout.
location_onSan Francisco, USA
Ankit explains genuinely hard concepts so simply. The agentic AI module alone was worth the fee — I finally understand how multi-agent systems work under the hood, and I have built three of my own since.
location_onChennai, India
The Excel-to-Power BI pathway was perfectly structured. Each lesson built on the last and by the end I was confidently presenting automated reports to senior management. Got promoted within two months of finishing.
location_onLagos, Nigeria
I was sceptical about online courses after wasting money on two others. This one is different — the live sessions, the projects, the community. I shipped a real computer vision app and it is in my portfolio now.
location_onDelhi, India
What sets Ankit apart is that he genuinely cares about each student. I had never written a line of Python before and now I am building end-to-end data science pipelines. The career guidance was a huge bonus.
location_onSydney, Australia
The generative AI course was mind-blowing. I built a custom chatbot for my company using LangChain and deployed it on AWS — all during the course. My manager was genuinely impressed.
location_onKochi, India
I switched from a non-tech background to data analytics after completing this course. The hands-on projects gave me the confidence to crack interviews. Currently working at a top fintech company.
location_onBerlin, Germany
Outstanding course structure. Every week we built something real. The capstone project alone added three talking points to my resume. The instructor feedback was detailed and genuinely helpful.
location_onHyderabad, India
I took the Data Science and AI course after my engineering degree and it was the best decision. Real projects, real datasets, real skills. I received two job offers before even finishing the course.
location_onToronto, Canada
The curriculum is incredibly well-designed. From Python basics to deploying ML models, everything was taught with real-world context. The community support is amazing and Ankit responds to every question personally.
location_onMumbai, India
After trying multiple platforms, this is where I finally learned to build production-grade AI applications. The agentic AI projects were particularly impressive — I now have a portfolio that stands out in interviews.
