AI Training for
Non-Technical Professionals
A 2-day intensive workshop on how AI actually works
Move beyond using AI tools to understanding how these systems think, what they can and cannot do, and how to navigate the AI transition in your organization with strategic clarity.

Most AI training teaches you how to use tools. We teach you how to think about AI systems from the ground up.
Build Mental Models, Not Just Skills
Understand how AI systems actually work: from pattern completion to hallucinations to confidence mismatches. When you grasp the fundamentals, everything makes sense.
Navigate with Healthy Skepticism
Learn what AI can and cannot do, grounded in how these systems function. Develop the critical thinking needed to verify outputs and manage expectations.
Strategic, Not Just Tactical
See the economic forces shaping AI behavior, power dynamics in the industry, and how AI is transforming knowledge work and distribution.
Business Impact & ROI
Training your team isn't a cost. It's protection against expensive mistakes and a catalyst for productivity gains.
Avoid Costly AI Tool Mistakes
Teams buy AI tools on FOMO, then abandon them 3 months later. Average wasted spend per tool: ₹50,000-2,00,000 annually. With proper evaluation frameworks, your team makes informed decisions the first time.
Accelerate AI Adoption by 3-6 Months
Without training, teams experiment randomly for months. With structured understanding, they identify high-impact use cases immediately and implement systematically across departments.
Build Internal AI Evaluation Capability
Stop depending on external consultants for every AI decision. Your team learns to evaluate tools, assess vendors, and make strategic choices independently. Consultant savings: ₹5-10 lakhs annually.
Measurable Productivity Gains
Marketing, product, and content teams report 30-40% efficiency improvements when using AI strategically. This translates to headcount optimization, reduced agency costs, and faster time-to-market.

Why Now?
The window to build competitive advantage is closing fast
Teams Are Making Expensive Mistakes
Without proper understanding, companies buy redundant tools, trust hallucinated outputs, and waste months on wrong use cases. Early AI literacy prevents costly errors.
AI Is Moving Faster Than Training
New models release monthly. Distribution is shifting from search to AI answers. Companies without AI-literate teams will fall behind competitors who move decisively.
Strategic Window Is Now
The companies building AI evaluation capability today will lead their industries tomorrow. Waiting means playing catch-up with competitors who started earlier.
What Makes This Different
Not another generic AI course
Built on published research analyzing how Indians actually use ChatGPT. Every insight grounded in systematic testing, not marketing hype or trend-chasing.
Live demonstrations, group exercises, and individual practice with real work scenarios. You leave ready to apply everything Monday morning.
Not a consultant reading from slides. Led by Kalyani Khona, LinkedIn Top AI Expert with arXiv-published work and daily LLM experimentation.
Unlike lonely online courses, this is intensive group learning. Ask questions, discuss with peers, get real-time feedback. Plus 30-day post-training support.
Focus on what you can use immediately: evaluation frameworks, prompting techniques, verification practices. No computer science degrees required.
Busy professionals don't have time for 8-week courses. This is concentrated, high-impact learning designed for teams stretched on time.
