You don't need to build AI.You need to understand, apply, direct and judge what it's worth.
A practitioner-led weekend cohort for senior leaders — whether you run a business or operations function or lead delivery, product and project teams. Three weekends to go from reading about AI to directing it with confidence. No coding required.

Recent in-person YaaraLabs cohorts — senior leaders, hands-on.
AI is already in your world.
It's in vendor pitches, in your team's tools, and in the questions leadership is asking. Whether you run a function or lead delivery and product teams, you're expected to have a point of view — to spot what's real, evaluate it, and direct the work, often on something you can't yet judge for yourself.
This cohort closes that gap. Not by turning you into an engineer — by making you fluent enough to apply, direct and judge AI, and lead the people and vendors who build it.
Built for how you actually work.
Shared sessions, with the use cases, examples and language tuned to your role. Choose the track that fits — you'll be in the same room, learning to direct AI in your own world.
For Business & Operations Leaders
Experienced business & operations leaders (10+ yrs) — managers, GMs, directors, AVPs — tasked with applying AI, evaluating vendors, weighing risk & compliance, and collaborating with tech teams. Across BFSI, BPO, retail, consulting, energy, healthcare & manufacturing.
- →Spot the use cases worth doing in your function — value vs. effort vs. governance.
- →Pull apart any AI vendor pitch with a clear scorecard — evidence, compliance risk (RBI / SEBI / DPDP-aware), cost and lock-in.
- →Make build-vs-buy and ROI calls you can defend — and direct your team to deliver, without becoming an engineer.
For Technology & Project Leaders
Experienced delivery, project, product, QA/test, program & account managers (10+ yrs) who direct teams, not codebases — and are now expected to lead AI. From IT services, GCCs, product firms & consulting.
- →Scope, direct and review what your teams ship — brief AI work and judge the output, without writing code.
- →Tell a strong AI solution from a weak one — and judge vendors with a clear scorecard.
- →Set the AI agenda with your team and clients — be the one who sets direction, not the one waiting to be briefed.

Apply — Technology & Project →From foundations to leading the work.
Foundations & personal fluency
What AI, GenAI and agents really are; using AI well day-to-day.
Apply & direct
Spotting use cases; how AI agents are built; directing the work.
Evaluate & lead
Judging vendors; build-vs-buy; responsible AI; your 90-day plan.
Real cases on your work
Paired case studies on your function, plus a capstone you present.
Every cohort builds a quantified use-case backlog for their own work — the method behind 60% faster KYC, 40% faster customer response and 60% faster design cycles. You leave with yours.
Practitioners, not educators.
Built and scaled AI in production at Amazon, Cisco, Microsoft, Flipkart, PVR INOX and other global and Indian enterprises. CTOs, Heads of AI and senior engineers — not academics, not influencers. More than your company's generic internal training.
“Very hands-on — instead of just theory, it showed real-time use cases and step-by-step practical experience.”
