We build
alongside
you.

Not courses. Not consulting. We sit with you — you bring the problem, the domain, the context. We bring the capability to build something real with AI, fast.

01 / Philosophy

AI education in India
is full of noise.

Courses with slides. Certificates with no output. Workshops where nothing actually gets built. A lot of hype, very little that is grounded or actionable.

We started this because we wanted something different. A place where you don't learn about AI — you use it to solve a real problem you actually have.

01
Outcome-oriented
We measure sessions not by what was explained but by what was built. A working tool. A solved problem. Something you can use tomorrow.
02
No prior experience needed
A psychologist. A teacher. A founder. None of them came to us as technical people. All of them built something real. Domain knowledge is the starting point — not a barrier.
03
Build fast, learn faster
A pottery teacher split a class in two. Half made one perfect pot. The other half made as many as possible. The quantity group made better pots. We work the same way.
04
Grounded, not evangelical
We are not here to tell you AI will change everything. We are here to help you find the one thing it can do for your work — and actually do it.
02 / Founders

Two people.
One shared conviction.

Co-Founder — Leads Applicative AI
Manasi Kabra

Manasi spent five years as Business Lead at ZeroPlast Labs — a deep-tech startup that raised ₹2.2 Cr from UNIDO, DST and DBT, and worked with H&M, ITC, Nestlé, Nivea, and Decathlon. She ran the business side: clients, operations, decisions, hard calls.

She watched a real company get built, scaled, and — when it was the right thing to do — shut down. That experience gave her something rare: she knows what building something real actually costs.

She went on Jagriti Yatra — 15 days across India meeting grassroots entrepreneurs and changemakers — which shaped how she thinks about what problems are worth solving and for whom.

In 2023 she turned toward AI. Not through lectures or certifications, but through building. She completed Jeremy Howard's SolveIt AI course. She co-founded the AI Study Group. She has delivered hands-on AI workshops for organisations including NPAV — where teams with no technical background built working tools within hours.

Co-Founder — Technical Lead
Aditya Kabra

Aditya studied basic science at IISER Pune, where he co-founded the Entrepreneurship & Innovation Cell and helped bring a ₹10 Cr NITI Aayog grant to set up an incubator on campus.

He encounters a problem, builds a prototype in hours, tests it. If it clicks, he goes deeper. If not, he learns and moves on. He built a competency assessment platform in 90 minutes during a workshop — that prototype is now used by 8+ enterprise clients.

He has built AI agents for biobanking platforms working inside closed enterprise systems with zero public documentation. He built a pipeline to surface 1,000+ projects from 15,000+ Discord messages. He runs hands-on AI prototyping workshops for communities and organisations including Venture Center and IISER Pune.

03 / Evidence

Real things
real people built.

The Teacher
Built a tool to explain the concept she'd been struggling to teach for years — in a single session. She came with no technical background and left with something she uses every week.
The Psychologist
Created an interactive journal her patients could use between sessions. A real clinical tool, built during a Saturday morning at a café.
The Founder
Tested twenty ideas in a week instead of spending months building the wrong one. Changed how she thinks about validation entirely.
NPAV Workshop
A team with no prior technical experience built a working AI tool in two hours. They didn't learn about AI. They used it.
Competency Assessment Platform
A prototype built in 90 minutes became a commercial platform now used by 8+ enterprise clients. It started exactly the same way every project here starts — with a problem and a laptop.
04 / Community

Every Saturday.
A café in Pune.

We started this because we wanted a place to try things hands-on. Not listen to talks about AI. Not network. Just a quiet room, a laptop, and a couple of hours to try something and see what happens.

We couldn't find that place. So we made one.

"Every time we pick a new domain, we start scared. But after five or six prototypes, something clicks — not expertise. The feeling that you can walk into anything unfamiliar and figure it out by trying."

The format
No agenda. No slides. No experts. Some weeks we explore a tool none of us have tried. Some weeks it's a domain — marketing, mental health, finance. Some weeks it's creative — art, music, games. Everyone's learning. Nobody's teaching. Just a room full of people trying things, side by side.
05 / Work with us

Three ways
we can work together.

None of these need a large commitment upfront. Most of our best projects started with a short conversation.

01
Build Together
You have deep domain knowledge and a problem you've been sitting with. We build something working in days, not months. We test it quickly. If it clicks, we go deeper. If not, we both learn something.
For individuals & small teams
02
Workshop
Your organisation builds a working AI tool in two hours. A website, app, chatbot, or dashboard — built by your team, not for them. No coding or technical background needed. We've done this for NPAV, Venture Center, IISER Pune, and others.
For organisations & teams
03
Explore Together
You're working on something interesting and think AI might be useful — but you're not sure how. Let's figure it out together. No agenda, no sales pitch. Just a conversation to find where AI can genuinely help your work.
