What People Are Saying About Our Courses

Come with an open mind and be prepared to be wowed :-)

SV
Sasi Vallikkat

This course was exactly what I needed. You are absolutely right about all these courses which build toy projects. I couldn't find anything so close to production-ready.

TP
Tatiana Panteleeva

A well-structured cohort designed for experienced professionals and career switchers. The friendly, cooperative sessions encouraged me to ask questions and receive live answers.

SN
Sharath Nukala

Shantanu and Shirin were excellent facilitators — striking the fine balance between what, why, and how — both for the sessions and real-world applications. The leads are accomplished senior engineers, brilliantly making theory real and hands-on accessible. Highly recommend.

Jim Meck

Shantanu/Shirin have good experience in traditional AI/ML world, and have been able to translate their experience towards building a document retrieving based RAG solution for the first cohort. Nice effort and good learning experience.

S

Learning with Shantanu and Shirin has been a refreshing experience — the structured weekly modules combined with live walkthroughs and Q&A sessions made complex concepts around building and monitoring RAG systems much easier to grasp. The content was practical, well-paced, and truly production-focused.
