The applied projects made the difference — I shipped real AI work before the program even ended. By month four I had three production models in my portfolio.

The IIM Trichy faculty connected AI to actual marketing strategy. That reframed how I lead my team, and we cut campaign turnaround by 40% within a quarter.
Neha G.
Neha G.@neha.codes
Career support was hands-on from week one. The mock interviews alone were worth it — I walked into my switch interview calm and landed a 60% hike.
Karthik R.
Karthik R.@karthik.eng
I was sceptical about online cohorts, but the live sessions with IIT Delhi faculty were genuinely rigorous. The GenAI module is the most current curriculum I've seen anywhere.
Meera D.
Meera D.@meera.pm
As a non-tech PM, I finally understand what's actually feasible with LLMs. I now scope AI features with my engineers instead of guessing — that alone changed my role.
Sahil V.
Sahil V.@sahil.v
The leadership programme gave me a framework to take AI adoption to our board. We've since rolled out governance across four business units with confidence.
