Why did I build a dedicated educational platform for working IT professionals to learn AI?

I have been teaching many things to different people since 2005. I used to teach Maths to class 12th students. Later I taught Marketing and Sales to MBA students, then I taught Digital Marketing to working professionals. So I have a flair for teaching.

I learned AI by taking Andrew NG’s course and other online courses. While learning, I realised that many AI concepts can be simplified.

So, I first started simplifying AI/LLM concepts and took some AI classes for engineering colleges. At the same time, I gave a few tech talks which were attended by working professionals.

After interacting with these senior professionals, I got a few queries like – Is it possible to learn AI without Maths? How long does it take to learn AI? What topics are relevant for us to learn?

At first, I gave the usual answers and directed them to the famous Andrew NG’s course but I also did a quick research if there were any special courses available for working IT professionals

And that’s when I realised the problem that the existing courses were not good enough and decided to build dedicated courses for them.
