You do not need to code to be AI-fluent. You need the right conversation — with someone who has been in the room and knows what it actually takes.
Sushmita Sen Gupta and Vijay Kumar Mishra mentor students and early-career professionals on what it means to work, build, and grow confidently in an AI-first world.
Engineering students. MBA graduates. Commerce, humanities, and law students. Career returners. First-time founders.
If AI feels overwhelming, distant, or not-for-you — this mentorship is for you.
The biggest barrier to AI adoption in India is not access to tools. It is the confidence to ask basic questions in rooms where everyone else seems to already understand.
We wrote Everyday AI: A Minimal Practical Guide because founders, leaders, and students kept asking us — quietly and sometimes apologetically — what an LLM actually is. What training data means. Why their brand does not show up on ChatGPT when it ranks on Google page 1.
This mentorship is that book, in conversation form. Practical. Honest. Specific to you.
You understand the algorithms. But can you explain AI to a non-technical stakeholder? Position yourself in a job market where every company claims to be AI-first? Use AI tools strategically beyond the codebase? Technical knowledge is the foundation. AI fluency in the real world is the advantage.
Strategy. Marketing. Finance. Law. Design. Commerce. The AI conversation was never only for engineers — it just felt that way. The students who understand how to use AI practically — not just theorise about it — will lead teams, shape decisions, and get the offers.
Already working but feeling left behind as AI reshapes your field? Returning after a career break and finding a landscape that looks completely different? You do not need to start over. You need a framework — and someone who has navigated the same shift- NGOs, Startups, MSMEs, Media
Understanding the terms, tools, and landscape — so you can participate in any AI conversation without hesitation. This is where Everyday AI: A Minimal Practical Guide comes in.
Not generic productivity hacks. Specific AI applications for your discipline, your role, and your immediate goals — whether you are in marketing, engineering, finance, or the arts.
How to present your AI skills — accurately and compellingly — to employers, clients, and collaborators. What to put on your resume. What to say in interviews.
For non-technical mentees — how websites become visible on ChatGPT, how schema and entity signals work, how to brief a developer confidently. The technical layer, made human.
Which roles are growing. Which are contracting. How to build a career that compounds in an AI-driven economy rather than one that erodes against it.
How to build a professional presence that signals genuine AI fluency — to the right people, on the right platforms. Positioning that attracts opportunities rather than chasing them.
