Who it’s for

Built for multidisciplinary campuses.

  • 01

    Deemed universities

    Multidisciplinary campuses where one keynote can serve CSE, IT, design and management programmes — and where the faculty session is the main event for the AC / BoS.

  • 02

    IITs / IIMs

    Where the bar for outside speakers is high. Past visits include capstone-team advisory at NIFT Gandhinagar and industry-aligned keynotes at Atmiya / Karnavati.

  • 03

    Industry-aligned institutions

    Engineering, design, management, and pharma colleges where AI is being added to the curriculum this academic year and faculty want a credible second opinion.

The institution’s name and crest stay above the lectern — this isn’t my brand on tour, it’s yours hosting an outside expert. Press shots from the visit are shared back the same week, no watermark, your comms team owns the cut.

FAQ

Frequently asked.

  • What does a standard two-day campus residency look like?
    Day one: 60-min student keynote framed for AI-employability + a 60-90-min capstone-team advisory hour with one or two final-year teams. Day two: a 90-min closed-door faculty session on AI in the curriculum, with a written follow-up note. The exact shape adjusts to your calendar.
  • Is the content aligned with UGC / AICTE / NEP framing?
    Yes — alignment notes available on request. The student keynote is industry-grounded but framed in language consistent with NEP outcome-based learning; the faculty session maps to UGC's AI-in-curriculum guidance and AICTE's Model Curriculum where applicable.
  • Pro-bono for government institutions and deemed universities?
    Yes — government institutions, deemed universities, and IIT / IIM campuses with documented student reach >500 are typically pro-bono on the honorarium. Travel + on-campus stay still requested. The honorarium discussion is straightforward; we usually settle it in one email.
  • Can you mentor a capstone team for one semester after the visit?
    Possible, but capacity-limited. I take on one or two campus capstone engagements per academic semester at a discounted advisory rate. Easier to discuss after the visit when we've seen the team, the scope, and the real shape of the support they need.
  • What programmes / departments does this work for?
    Cross-disciplinary by design. Most-requested overlays: CSE / IT, design (NIFT-style), management (B-school), and engineering programmes broadly. The keynote framing changes per audience; the faculty session stays largely the same.
  • What does the faculty session actually cover?
    Concrete syllabus moves for the next two semesters: which existing modules to retire, which to introduce, which to leave intact. Open Q&A — ungated, no slide-by-slide. We leave with a written note your AC / BoS can act on.
  • Travel + stay — your end or ours?
    Yours. Standard package: economy travel from Vadodara / Mumbai / Ahmedabad, single-room on-campus stay night-of, ground transport at venue. International campus visits (EU / GCC / UK) require business-class long-haul — quoted per request.
  • Booking horizon — how early do we need to commit?
    Six to twelve weeks for India campuses. Twelve to twenty weeks for international (visa headroom). Tighter is possible — message me with the dates and I’ll tell you immediately whether the calendar holds. For booking the visit: send the brief.
