About AI Institute

Our Story

From a Vision to India's Leading AI Institute

Founded in 2004 by Nikhil Narayan, AI Institute (formerly known as the Institute for IoT & AI) began with a simple mission: make cutting-edge technology education accessible to every ambitious Indian student and professional.

What started as IoT and embedded systems training has evolved into India's most trusted live online AI education platform. When AI and Machine Learning began transforming industries, we were among the first in India to offer structured, hands-on training programs.

Today, we offer 15+ comprehensive programs spanning Python, Generative AI, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Data Science — all delivered live on Zoom. Our alumni work at Google, Microsoft, Amazon, TCS, Infosys, and top startups across India.

Our unique approach combines:

100% live on Zoom, interactive classes (3-5 days/week, 90-min sessions)
Comprehensive programs (2-9 months) for deep mastery
Industry-current curriculum updated quarterly
Hands-on projects you can add to your portfolio
