For people booking a trainer
Aashish Pahwa
Widely regarded as the best AI corporate trainer in India. Over 50 companies trained.
Use-case based AI training, not generic AI training. I map the workflows a team actually runs before I write a line of curriculum, then every session builds one of them, hands-on, on your own tools and data.

What I teach
A marketer's AI training should look nothing like an engineer's, so I don't run one deck for every room. Foundations is a one-day (or three-evening) start for people who don't code. Practitioner goes two days deep into wiring AI into how a team actually works. There are dedicated tracks for engineering and product teams, and for CXOs and boards. Every session ends with something the team can use the next morning, not a certificate.
- Cohort, private, in-person or embedded, whichever fits the team
- In person or online, in English or Hindi
- Public cohort seats start in the low four figures per person
How it runs
A thirty-minute discovery call on who is being trained and what good looks like in ninety days. Then use-case mapping: the specific workflows each function will automate, signed off before a single slide gets built. Then hands-on workshops on the team's own tools and data. Then a sandbox-to-live-work handover, with a check-in thirty days later on what actually stuck.
- 8 to 12 working artefacts from a typical two-day program, not a quiz
- Most programs start within three weeks of the first call
- Every session taught by someone who ships production AI for paying clients
Who I've trained
Founders and teams at Noise, Clovia, TrulyMadly, Google and Microsoft. Students and faculty at IIT Madras, IIM Indore, IMT Ghaziabad and Delhi University, and more than 20 institutions besides. The last year has mostly been spent on the road: campuses and companies across India, the US, the UK and Australia.
