Three Programs. One Goal.

SDAI offers three programs from K Block, Kidwai Nagar, Kanpur, with every session available both offline and online via Zoom. AI Fluency is a 30-day course at ₹2,499 with zero prerequisites, covering 22+ AI tools and producing 14 artifacts that earn the Certified AI Practitioner credential. AI & Data Fellowship is a 90-day intensive plus a 1-month project sprint at ₹17,999 where you build 12 live AI products using Claude Code, CrewAI, LangGraph, MCP, and RAG, with mock interviews and hiring manager referrals included. BYOP — Build Your Own Project is a 45-day 1-on-1 mentorship at ₹9,999 with rolling admission where you bring your own project idea and receive expert guidance, 2 mock interviews, and access to 20+ hiring managers. All batches are limited to 15 students and taught in Hindi and English by both founders.

Course 1 requires zero technical background and is built for anyone curious about AI, from Class 10+ students to working professionals in any field. The 30-day program at ₹2,499 builds skills progressively from foundational AI concepts to hands-on tool usage, requiring no prior coding experience. Course 2 also does not require deep coding skills because Claude Code handles the development. What you need is the ability to think about products, describe what you want to build, and evaluate whether the result is good. Working professionals, MBA students, and non-technical founders regularly join Course 2 alongside BTech and MCA students. All sessions at SDAI's K Block, Kidwai Nagar, Kanpur centre are delivered in Hindi and English and streamed simultaneously on Zoom. Batch 1 starts May 15, 2026, with only 15 seats per cohort.

Yes, Course 1 is a mandatory prerequisite for Course 2. This is not an arbitrary gate — Course 2 builds directly on top of the foundations taught in Course 1 including LLM internals, prompt engineering, and AI tooling. Students who skip this foundation consistently struggle by Week 2 of Course 2. Completing Course 1 first, a 30-day program at ₹2,499 covering 22+ AI tools and producing 14 artifacts, means you arrive at Course 2 ready to build rather than catch up. A short entrance assessment is also conducted before admission to Course 2 to ensure you are ready for the pace and depth of the 90-day program. Both courses are taught from SDAI's centre at K Block, Kidwai Nagar, Kanpur and simultaneously online via Zoom, in Hindi and English. Batch 1 starts May 15, 2026.

Course 1, AI Fluency, is 30 days consisting of 20 live sessions plus 4 Saturday revision classes, where you cover 22+ AI tools and produce 14 artifacts to earn the Certified AI Practitioner credential. Course 2, AI & Data Fellowship, is 12 weeks (90 days) of core curriculum followed by a 1-month project compilation sprint where you polish your startup product to production grade. The 90 days are structured in 6 two-week blocks covering data foundations, Claude Code mastery, domain AI days, agentic AI, RAG plus MCP plus LLM evaluation, and a startup sprint with graduation. Mock interviews are scheduled at Day 70 and Day 90. Both courses run from SDAI's K Block, Kidwai Nagar, Kanpur centre and simultaneously via Zoom, delivered in Hindi and English. Each batch is limited to 15 students, with Batch 1 starting May 15, 2026.

Yes, both courses award verifiable credentials. Course 1 graduates earn the Certified AI Practitioner — SDAI credential after completing a portfolio of 14 artifacts and passing an exit interview with a founder. Course 2 graduates earn the Certified AI & Data Analyst Professional — SDAI credential after completing 8 projects and a 45-to-60-minute final assessment with a founder. Exceptional Course 2 graduates may receive the Elite Graduate distinction, an instructor-nominated visual seal on the certificate. Both certifications are verifiable online through SDAI's certificate portal, signed by both founders Arpit Tiwari and Kajal Mishra, and can be added directly to LinkedIn. Certificates never expire, and employers can confirm authenticity using the unique certificate ID at any time. Courses are taught at K Block, Kidwai Nagar, Kanpur and via Zoom in Hindi and English, with Batch 1 starting May 15, 2026.

Yes, Course 2 includes 100% job assistance. You receive 2 structured mock interviews, one at Day 70 covering data and AI technical skills, and one at Day 90 as an exit simulation, both with detailed written feedback. A 1-on-1 LinkedIn & resume review session optimises your professional profiles. The Freelance Starter Kit helps you set up Fiverr and Upwork profiles with your first 3 gigs live before graduation. A 1-month post-course project compilation sprint with weekly 1-on-1 check-ins polishes your portfolio to production grade. Top performers in mock interviews receive a personal referral from Arpit Tiwari to his network of 20+ hiring managers at companies where he has shipped production AI systems. SDAI also actively takes on freelance and product work, and the best graduates are considered for direct paid roles within SDAI itself, taught at K Block, Kidwai Nagar, Kanpur and online via Zoom.

All SDAI programs have a pro-rata refund guarantee. If you are unsatisfied at any point, you get a refund based on the number of days completed, with no questions asked and no hidden conditions. For example, leaving Course 1 on Day 10 means ₹2,499 divided by 30 multiplied by 20 unused days, giving approximately ₹1,666 back. The same proportional formula applies to Course 2 (AI & Data Fellowship) at ₹17,999 over 90 days, and to BYOP at ₹9,999 over 45 days. For BYOP, the ₹499 application token is fully refundable if you are not selected for the program. This transparent refund policy applies equally to offline students at K Block, Kidwai Nagar, Kanpur and online students joining via Zoom. SDAI believes fair terms reflect confidence in instruction quality.

BYOP is a 45-day 1-on-1 mentorship program at ₹9,999 where you bring your own project idea and build it end-to-end with expert guidance from SDAI's founders. The program includes all-day WhatsApp support for real-time doubt resolution, regular Google Meet feedback sessions to review progress and refine your product, 2 mock interviews with detailed written feedback, and hundreds of quiz questions to test your understanding. Your completed project is showcased on SDAI's social media channels and website, giving you public portfolio visibility. You also receive direct referrals to 20+ hiring managers in Arpit Tiwari's professional network. BYOP is fully online with rolling admission, so you can apply anytime regardless of batch cycles. No prerequisite course is required. The program is application-based, with a ₹499 token that is fully refundable if you are not selected.

BYOP has a simple 3-step admission process. (1) Submit your resume and project idea via the application form along with a ₹499 token. (2) The SDAI team reviews your resume and schedules a 15-minute Google Meet screening call to understand your project goals and assess fit. (3) You receive an admission decision within 48 hours. If you are not selected, your ₹499 token is fully refunded with no deductions. BYOP is independent of Course 1 and Course 2, so no prerequisite course is required. The program runs fully online with rolling admission, meaning you can apply at any time without waiting for a batch start date. Once admitted, your 45-day mentorship begins with founder-led guidance, all-day WhatsApp support, and access to 20+ hiring manager referrals. The program costs ₹9,999 and is available in both Hindi and English.
