Some people are born to pass on knowledge to others – sort of ‘born educators’. Sandeep ‘Sandy’ Manudhane is one such person. The popularity of the videos of his lectures is in itself a testimonial to that. It’s a great news that he has now ventured into educating the Indian youth as well as experienced professionals on the emergent technology like Artificial Intelligence via “BILLION HOPES”. As a senior and experienced professional with decades of practical experience in building complex industrial projects on EPC basis … from concept to commissioning … I happily endorse BILLION HOPES. I’m sure it will have a deep and long-lasting impact on this field and help the country produce competent and trained manpower.

I have known Mentor Sandy since 1989 when we joined IIT Delhi at the same time, and spent four years together in the same class of twelve. We have been close friends and collaborators ever since. He is a genuine, passionate and insightful educator. Over four decades, we have shared our learnings along many dimensions, always seeking ways to excel and improve. As the leader of a global tech firm working with clients of all types, I see the great need for corporate professionals to have easy access to AI learning methods and courses. I am glad Sandeep is now building Billion Hopes with the goal of “AI for real impact”. That’s a laudable and achievable aim. I wish the project great success!
