The story behind AICB

Why I built this

Every year, thousands of talented IT professionals in India get screened out before a human ever reads their resume. Not because they lack skills. Because their resume was written for a human — not for the ATS system that filters 90% of applications before any recruiter sees them.

I spent 20+ years on the other side of this equation. As a Service Delivery Manager and Program Manager at Infosys, Mphasis, Tech Mahindra, Wipro, and IBM — leading teams of up to 55 people, managing programmes worth $10M+, working across India, UK, Germany, and Malaysia — I've been in the room where hiring and advancement decisions get made.

In 2024, I made a deliberate shift — completing AI programmes at GrowthSchool-Outskill and earning PMI's AI certifications — not just to learn AI, but to understand how working IT professionals can apply it meaningfully in real work. That combination of enterprise delivery depth and applied AI thinking is what I bring to every session.

If you're an IT professional in India wondering why you're not getting shortlisted — the answer is almost always in how your experience is presented, not in the experience itself. That's the gap I work on.

I help professionals understand not just what AI is — but how to apply it meaningfully in real work. Let's make your experience visible.
