100 Days of Agent Building for Retail Professionals Free Course

Ganesh Subramanian

Founder & CEO at Stylumia

Build, debug, and deploy reliable AI agents for real work

💡Why this program?

AI’s potential is limitless, but design rigor is what’s lacking.

Most AI systems fail because they’re not built to handle real-world complexity.

Today, it’s not about capability—it’s about design.

💡What problem does it solve?

Real-world work involves complex inputs, incomplete contexts, and high-stakes decisions. AI systems must be intentionally designed to handle constraints, contextual reasoning, and visible, fixable failures to be reliable. Without this rigor, AI rarely integrates into workflows where outcomes matter.

This program starts with this foundational principle.

What This Program Develops ✨

• Deconstruct real work into agent-ready tasks

• Design Al agents with clear roles and guardrails

• Connect agents to real tools, data, and workflows

• Debug issues systematically (not chaotically)

• Improve reliability over time

Course Timings

Weekly Live sessions take place every Thursday from 6:00–7:00 PM (Indian Standard Time).

Testimonials

  • A big thank you to Ganesh and Priyanka for organizing this! I’ve always wanted to learn about agents, and when I saw your post, I decided to give it a try. The experience was great, but there were challenges along the way. The simplicity of the lessons and the focus on experimentation helped me push through those moments. Thanks to this program, I’m now committed to creating one agent every week. It’s not always easy, but the process is enjoyable. For anyone joining, know it takes practice, but it’s worth it. I’m excited to see where this goes!"

  • Ganesh, I’m echoing what others have said, but looking back over the last 14 weeks, I came in with almost zero understanding of AI what it is, where it’s going, or whether it would even matter for retail. What’s been most enabling is how the course moved from those basic questions to very real, practical examples of how AI can be used in industry and everyday work.

    I come from a non-technical background with no coding experience, so being able to follow along and actually understand the applications was something I genuinely didn’t expect.

  • Participating in the 100 Days of Agent Building for Retail cohort has been a truly transformative experience. I joined the program with a significant fear of technology and a long-standing belief that I was technically challenged. However, this program helped me overcome those fears, build confidence in my ability to learn and adapt, and develop a more positive relationship with technology.

  • I’ve followed Ganesh on LinkedIn for a long time and really admire his journey. It started with a few common threads like same college, worked at Coats and Myntra, and eventually moved into entrepreneurship. The moment Ganesh announced Cohort 1 of 100 Days of Agent Building, I applied. Didn’t make it. Luckily, I got into the second The course was very stimulating. I built a couple of agents as part of the practice. The most useful one for me was a "Lead Enrichment Agent" for my day-to-day work. What would normally take ~30 hours of manual profiling got done in less than 2 hours for 10k compaies. That’s the direct impact.

  • I’m really glad I discovered this course through LinkedIn and decided to join it. It has been a truly enriching experience for me. Firstly, the course opens up the world of AI in a very practical and accessible way. Rather than being purely theoretical, it focuses strongly on actually building things, which makes the learning far more engaging and meaningful. Another important realization for me has been that with AI, we are no longer limited to mastering just one domain. Personally, this journey has left me extremely motivated to explore the world of AI further in my career. A big thank you to Ganesh for constantly pushing us to stretch beyond our comfort zones, and to Priyanka for being such a dependable support system throughout the journey.
