Who it's for

3rd and 4th years
Placement season is close. This is the year it matters most.
Every branch
Especially if you think AI is "a CSE thing". It isn't anymore.
No coding needed
Upendranath has never coded. You'll be fine.
Bring a laptop
And your charger. And whatever you're curious about.

  • You've never built an app

    Build a clinic's booking app that patients actually use, in days, not months.

  • You already edit for fun

    Edit reels for a creator. Raw footage in, a week of reels out, paid every month.

  • You like making things work

    Set up an AI agent that answers a shop's DMs at 2am, so the owner can sleep.

Every combination is a different project.

I'm from

and I'd help

Mechanical → a local business

You could build

A quote calculator for a local fabrication shop: enter the sizes, get material cost and a price in seconds.

Why it matters: Owners pay every month for anything that saves them time or wins them customers.

The day

  1. Morning

    The tools people actually get paid for

    Not a theory class. You get hands-on with the AI tools freelancers and teams use every day, and you'll leave knowing which one to reach for when.

  2. Late morning

    Pick a real problem

    For a person, a small business, or yourself. Something someone would actually pay to fix. No toy projects.

  3. Lunch

    Team up across branches

    Mechanical next to CSE next to Civil. We balance every team so you sit with people you don't know yet. That's the point.

  4. Afternoon

    Build it with AI

    Mentors walk the floor all afternoon. Stuck for more than five minutes? Shout. Nobody gets left behind with a blank screen.

  5. Evening

    Show it off

    Every team demos to the whole room. Yes, you'll be nervous. You'll also walk out with something real to show for the day.

Not theory

We're not guessing. This is our life right now.

Two people from these same classrooms. Neither of us waited to be hired into this.

what I do today

  • Fractional CTO for a recruitment company in Dubai
  • Technology and digital partner to a founder with a multi-million-dollar exit
  • Websites, newsletters, creative and tech for founders
“It started with one founder. I took care of everything: his website, his newsletter, his creative work, his tech. He liked the work enough to introduce me to people he knew. Those clients now pay me five to six times what he does. Every month.”

Fewer jobs

Microsoft offers exit packages to about 60,000 people, a quarter of the company, India included.

so? Even the biggest names are shrinking the seats they hire into.

Fewer seats at the big companies. More work for people who can build with AI. By the time your batch graduates, that's the market.

Fair questions

Do I need to know coding?

No. One of us has never written a line of code and builds with AI every day. If you already code, you'll just go further.

I'm not from CSE. Is this really for me?

Especially for you. The whole point is that AI works for every branch, and teams mix branches on purpose.

Will this get me placed?

Nobody honest can promise that. We'll show you how to be the person who gets picked, or who doesn't need to wait to be picked.

When and where?

Each workshop is one full day on a college campus. The next one's date and place are on this page, and everyone who signs up hears first.

Can I come with friends?

Yes. Add their names when you sign up. We'll seat you at different tables so you all meet new people.
