Dexterity Venture

I am an enterprise AI educator, technologist, and founder. I teach working professionals — architects, directors, and CXOs — how to design and deploy production-grade AI systems with governance built in from day one.
I have been teaching online and through live cohort-based programs since 2023, after 21+ years of building enterprise systems at TCS, Tech Mahindra, MindTree, and IRCA India. I mentor learners across India, with a deliberate focus on students from tier-2 and tier-3 colleges who rarely get access to enterprise-grade AI training.
I am certified in / aligned with

Microsoft Azure AI Foundry (Agentic AI Solutions Architecture)
ISO 42001 (AI Management Systems)
NIST AI Risk Management Framework
EU AI Act compliance frameworks
India's DPDP Act and Seven Sutras of AI Governance
Multi-agent orchestration and agentic AI architecture patterns

I have a degree in Engineering, with 21+ years of applied enterprise experience across digital transformation, governance, and AI deployment programs at Tier-1 IT firms.
My key skills

Agentic AI architecture and Microsoft Azure AI Foundry deployment
Enterprise AI governance (EU AI Act, ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, DPDP Act)
Convergence Architect™ methodology — integrating AI, Governance, ESG, and Digital Transformation as one operating framework, not silos
Curriculum design for AI certification programs (foundational to advanced architect level)
Forward-Deployed AI Engineering — turning research into shippable enterprise systems
Mentoring and 1:1 coaching for career transitions into AI roles

Based in Bangalore; teach learners across India and globally online
Personally mentor students from tier-2 and tier-3 colleges at no cost as part of my give-back commitment
Teaching style: builder-first, evidence-over-adjectives, worked examples over slideware
Outside work: sketching, painting, poetry, travel — I bring the same first-principles thinking to teaching that I bring to architecture
