Why now

AI is already inside how software gets built. The advantage goes to the ones who build it.

This is not a warning. It is the clearest opening developers have had in years.

  • 84%

    of developers now use AI tools in their work.

    Stack Overflow
  • 71%

    business Gen AI adoption, in a single year.

    Stanford HAI
  • 80%

    of engineers will need to upskill in AI by 2027.

    Gartner

Using AI tools is now the baseline. Building AI systems is the differentiator, and that is what you learn here.

Is this you

Built for working developers ready to build with AI

A working developer at their desk
FOR:
  • JAVA
  • .NET
  • PHP
  • FRONTEND
  • BACKEND
  • DATA
  • MAINFRAME
  • QA
  • DEVOPS

You do not need to match all of these. Any one of them is enough.

  • You have 2 to 12+ years shipping software, in any stack.
  • You can code, but you have not built with LLMs or agents yet.
  • You are a Java, .Net, PHP, frontend, backend, data or mainframe engineer.
  • You are in QA or DevOps and want to move into AI-augmented work.
  • You would rather build real AI systems than watch more tutorials.
If even one of these sounds like you, you are in the right place.

No Python? Start here

You can code. You have not built with AI yet. That is exactly the gap we close.

A live BlueTick class in session
  1. 01

    Python from the first line

    We start at setup and fundamentals, even if you have never written Python. No prerequisite, no catching up alone.

  2. 02

    Structured, step by step

    Foundations to Gen AI to agents, sequenced so each module earns the next. Nothing is assumed or skipped.

  3. 03

    The real enterprise stack

    You train on the exact tools and workflow companies run in production, not a simplified classroom version.

  4. 04

    Never stuck alone

    With a 1:15 mentor ratio, your doubts get cleared in the same session, so you never fall behind.

QA & DevOps, you fit here too

Your QA or DevOps experience is a head start into AI

Two engineers reviewing a dashboard together

If you are in QA

  • Move from manual and scripted testing to agentic test automation.
  • Build AI agents that generate, run and triage test cases.
  • Add LLM evaluation and guardrails to your quality toolkit.

If you are in DevOps

  • Bring AI into your pipelines: AI-augmented CI/CD and automation.
  • Run LLMOps: tracing, observability and cost control in production.
  • Orchestrate agentic automation across your infrastructure.

You are not switching careers. You are adding the layer that makes your career future-proof.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

I'm a working developer but this looks basic. Will it be too easy for me?

It starts from Python fundamentals so nobody is left behind, but it moves fast into the parts that matter for you: RAG, AI agents, multi-agent systems, LLMOps and fine-tuning. Even senior engineers tell us the agentic and production modules are new ground. You spend most of the program building real, enterprise-grade AI systems, not revisiting basics.

I have never written Python. Can I still do this?

Yes. The first module teaches Python from setup and fundamentals, built for people who have never touched it, right up to building APIs and apps. You already think like an engineer, so the syntax comes quickly, and with a 1:15 mentor ratio your doubts get cleared in the same session.

What will I actually build?

Real systems you can show a recruiter: an LLM-powered chatbot, a production RAG document Q&A system, a SQL agent, a multi-agent enterprise data assistant, a customer-support agent with evaluation and observability, and a capstone that ties it all together. You leave with a portfolio, not just a certificate.

Do the mentors actually build AI, or just teach it?

They build it for a living. You learn from 9 industry AI experts who build AI systems for Fortune 500 companies, with backgrounds at EY, IBM, PwC, Infosys and Microsoft, and degrees from institutions like IIT Kanpur. A different expert leads each module.

I have a full-time job. Can I manage this?

Yes, it is built for working developers. Classes run on weekends, Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM to 2 PM, over 14 weekends. Attend offline at our Indiranagar campus or join the same live session online. You keep your job and build your AI skills in parallel.

I'm in QA or DevOps, not core development. Does this fit me?

Absolutely. There is a dedicated focus for you: QA moves into agentic test automation, and DevOps into AI-augmented pipelines, LLMOps and agentic automation. Your systems and quality experience is a real head start into AI work.

Is this real engineering or just prompt writing?

Real engineering. You build production AI systems: RAG pipelines, multi-agent architectures, evaluation and observability, MCP integrations and fine-tuning with LoRA and QLoRA. Prompting is one small part of a much deeper, hands-on build.

Will this actually move my career forward?

Gen AI and Agentic AI are among the fastest-growing, best-paying skills in tech right now. You finish with the production stack companies are hiring for, a portfolio of real projects, and complete career support: portfolio reviews, resume and LinkedIn help, mock interviews and referrals, for as long as you need it.
