Success stories
- The hands-on, real-world nature of the class — especially how Avinash and Deepa teach through perspectives like customer, business, and tech — makes it uniquely powerful. The best part is how approachable the instructors are — they go out of their way to listen to our challenges and guide us to think critically and solve them ourselves.
Madhusmita Rath
VP , Product Manager, JP Morgan - Avinash and Deepa’s combination of product leadership and machine learning expertise delivers a truly holistic perspective, showing not just how to build ML solutions, but how to align them with real-world product goals. The single, evolving case study anchors the entire course, making each concept immediately relevant and easy to connect.
Anjal Haroli
Product Leader in Tech This course has been an excellent experience! Avinash and Deepa were really thoughtful and considerate in bringing clarity and energy into our sessions. I got to learn a lot about AI PM and the entire process of how AI products are built. They made sure to answer every single question that we had and went into a lot of detail in teaching the concepts that were necessary for us to understand. I highly recommend taking up this course as it's really practical and you will gain a lot of valuable information. The office hours were also good, where I brought questions to my specific use case, if I am looking to build a project, and they gave me amazing feedback.
Garv Arya
Data Science Intern at RBCThis course was a total game-changer. It's perfect for beginner/matured PMs in the AI space or seasoned ML engineers who want to better collaborate with product and other stakeholders. It masterfully balances two areas: A Mature Product Mindset and Strategic AI Implementation: Teaching the crucial wisdom of when to use AI—and when not to. The instructors, Avinash (a seasoned product coach) and Deepa (a world-class ML engineering director), bring an incredible depth of real-world experience. But what truly set this course apart was the empathy and focused attention they gave to each participant. They empowered and coached us with the right tools/frameworks, making us fall in "love" with the problem—which organically produces the right solutions.
