What I build

Products, playbooks, and production work around GenAI adoption.

If you are evaluating GenAI adoption or re-training efforts, here are representative accomplishments and insights from our AI transformation journey that can help you decide what credible implementation looks like.

Rehearsal

We believe the future of learning is ambient learning.

Rehearsal

AI-native skill learning with practice, probing, memory, and judgment traces

Ambient learning means learning should sit close to the moment of need, instead of waiting for a course, an LMS module, or a scheduled workshop. Rehearsal is my working version of that belief: it remembers what a learner saved, practised, answered, misunderstood, and improved, then turns those traces into the next prompt, feedback moment, or reviewable proof. It is not only a mock-interview app; it is a memory-bearing practice layer for skills, judgment, and institutional learning.

The first Generative AI Playbook on Assessment Redesign

A practical roadmap for institutional AI adoption

Most GenAI guidance stops at do's and don'ts. We saw early that the harder problem was assessment redesign: students needed clarity, but faculty needed the deeper operating framework. Over the last two years, we trained Jaipuria Institute of Management faculty to redesign assessments for AI-native classrooms. Every course outline now maps AI competency levels using the MIST framework for assessment design that we developed. The playbook is the public version of that work.

  • 60+ institutions
  • 3 adoption frameworks
  • policy to practice

Playbooks and publishing workflows

Playbooks, textbooks, and production workflows.

Jaipuria Group operates more than 70 schools in India and has a sizeable publishing division. We transformed the traditional textbook-production workflow from a slow, design-heavy process into a GenAI-assisted production system with fewer handoffs, faster iteration, and clearer review gates.

Corporate training clientele.

As a recurring resource for multiple institutes of excellence in India, I get to work with GenAI use cases far beyond generic productivity training: automated financial-crime analysis, fine-tuning SLMs for oil exploration, automatic SEO/GEO refreshes, voice-based applications, and other domain-specific adoption problems.
