The Mahesh Yadav Institute focuses on quality over quantity and is passionate to educate the next generation of AI product leaders. We only offer 4 cohorts throughout the year and limit each cohort to 40-50 students to maximize the 1:1 mentoring time you get from Mahesh.

📚 We are part of Maven's BUILDWITH AI series, where only the Top instructors in AI are selected. In terms of leadership style, Mahesh is a servant leader. He believes in giving back and wants to help you to become #1 in the AI/ML space.

For the general public, we have a Free Sat community, where they can come and learn AI, meet industry speakers and ask Mahesh questions LIVE. You can join our FREE AI PM group here: https://www.linkedin.com/company/mahesh-ai-pm-community

For cohort members who join this course for accelerated learning, here is what you get:

- 5 live sessions (90 mins each)

- 5 lab sessions/optional Q&A (60-90 mins each, labs are essential if you want to get practical experience as an AI PM)

- Live access to instructor, though the session will be recorded too.

- Early access to materials to support your AI PM journey before class starts if needed (We believe in transparency and a fair and value offer. We don't charge extra for early access to materials nor charge you more for live access to instructor.)

- Continue support post graduation on your goals, whether you are building out your own company, looking for mentors to ask advanced AI questions, or transiting to an AI PM job.

Here is our stats:

- All alumni reports an increase in confidence to lead AI strategy, build an AI company or ship an AI-powered product.

- 5 alumni from recent cohorts got AI PM jobs or have started their own companies.

- Cohort 1 members have started getting AI PM interviews.

We believe this is only achievable in a smaller class setting, and genuine care for students in their career journey post graduation. Cohort members get exclusive access to an extensive alumni network, access to Mahesh, private jobs and recruiter pools, and exclusive events that will benefit their career.

👨‍💻 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗢𝗥

Mahesh Yadav is the GenAI PM lead at Google GenAI team. He has over 20 years of experience in AI/ML Product management and engineering, specializing in deploying large language model (LLM) based services and enhancing AI infrastructure at companies like AWS AI (Bedrock), Meta (PyTorch and Feed) and Microsoft Azure AI. Mahesh is the original product builder for AWS Bedrock GenAI services, and he grew the platform's customers from zero to 10k in 8 months. In addition, he optimized Pytorch at Meta by moving it from a single cluster training platform to a multi cluster training platform, and expanded the feed models from Billion to Trillion in scale to increase feed CTR(click through rate).

Mahesh is on a mission to educate the next generation of AI/Ml product managers. He has taught 1000s of students in his Meta internal channel course, and 5 cohorts at PMExercises. He has helped hundreds of PMs to interview for AI/ML roles for the past 10 years. He is a rare AI leader who not only talk about his successes, but also all the mistakes he encountered along the way to build successful and scalable AI products. In this course, Mahesh will go all out sharing his AI product insights, technical acumen needed and landmines of mistakes to avoid.

Drawing from my own experiences in developing ML/AI products and working at leading companies like Facebook, AWS, and Google, I've observed a critical gap. Many aspiring AI PMs struggle in the AI space due to a lack of understanding of AI/PM product basics, technical concepts, or the absence of a hands-on project or portfolio that demonstrates their AI PM skills in the market. In this course, I will share in-depth topics that will truly help set you apart for AI ML interviews, and rehashing what you already know. In addition, we will provide hands-on lab to build your AI product portfolio.

I have designed this course based on my two decades experience at Microsoft, Meta, Amazon and Google to not only provide deep insights into AI PM fundamentals but also to focus on the technical aspects and practical applications needed in the AI field which will prepare you for the real-life interview settings, and your AI PM career.

Throughout the course, you will have practical lab sessions to help you to understand the tradeoff you have to make as an AI product manager.

Furthermore, you will also develop effective product requirement documents (PRDs), and embark on creating your first AI-driven product with a talented community of highly driven individuals, guided by me.

Key AI PM Technical Knowledge Covered

(This is a small sample of what we will go through in class. AI is a rapidly changing field. What set me apart from other instructors is I am in the core GenAI team working with the core tech, so I can continue to bring in the latest concepts and industry insights for each cohort)

• Basic AI Concepts (e.g. Neural Networks, Transformers, Diffusion)

• Real-world examples of ML/AL execution and tradeoffs

• Special focus on GenAI, its applications, and deployment with technical deep-dive

• Types of AI Models and Applications

• How to evaluate the success of GenAI models and systems

• AI/ML Stacks

• Advance knowledge and session on AGI's

• LLM-Powered Agents and Agent Creation

• Prompt Engineering

• Prompting Techniques (e.g. Zero-shot, chain of thoughts)

• Fine-tuning ML models (e.g. PEFT, LoRA) & RLHF

• Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) & Retrieval Augmented Fine-Tuning (RAFT)

💡 COURSE PREREQUISITES

This course requires traditional PM or equivalent background, but we have cohort members from other backgrounds in design and ML engineering who have proved to be a great fit too. Contact us if you have questions if this course will be a good fit for you.
