Two Startups At IIT Madras To Train 1 Lakh AI & Deep Learning Engineers By 2020

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a hot trend in the technology field in recent years. We can see it in a variety of applications as well as many other tech products. And therefore, it comes as no surprise that India has planned to train more AI and Deep Learning engineers.

Two startups from the Indian Institute of Technology in Madras (IIT Madras) have just revealed their new collaboration. They hope to produce more experts in both AI and Deep Learning in 2020.

They include GUVI and One Fourth Labs. The first startup specializes in providing programming courses in many vernacular languages for Indian students who are living in Tier 2 & 3 cities. The second startup, One Fourth Labs, was established by a faculty of IIT Madras. This company has provided advanced AI courses in which students will have to pay from Rs 1,000 to join.

Both of these companies have a common purpose. They are planning to train 1,00,000 new Indian experts in Deep Learning and AI next year.

According to their partnership, GUVI will be the one to build the platform and One Fourth Labs will provide the content. All of the eligible students, especially including those who are good at Python and math, will have a promising opportunity.

The co-founder of GUVI SP Balamurugan said:

As mentioned above, potential students will have a chance to approach AI technology in spite of their demographics.

Improving the vital AI-related skills for engineers in India is obviously an important task. It doesn’t just help them earn their living in the automation era but it also ensures that we can bring a better future to the world via robust tech solutions.
