About
Yash is one of the most sought-after AI educators in the country, known for keeping classes genuinely fun — live demos, real-life examples from things happening right now, and a hands-on approach that skips dry theory entirely. Based in Mumbai, he has taught over 350,000+ students across all platforms, delivered 20+ live bootcamps, created 50+ online courses, and logged 5,000+ hours of live training.
Yash is known for keeping learning fun and results immediate — his rule is that students leave every session having already built something, not just having heard about it. He dislikes traditional theory-heavy teaching and is constantly exploring new ways to deliver learning that actually sticks for this generation. He's delivered every format imaginable: in-person workshops, live bootcamps, online courses, corporate sessions, and hybrid programmes across 25+ industries. His 50+ courses cover prompt engineering, content automation, AI for research, SEO, product management, and developer tooling. As the founder of AISOLO Technologies, he builds and teaches in parallel — Olly.social, BGBlur.com, Infloq.com, and Explainx.ai are all products he created while teaching the same techniques in his courses.
