Formats

Every session is built around the audience and adapted to the format the event needs.

  • Keynotes: 45–60 minute talks for conferences and large audiences, framed for the room's specific industry, whether that's healthcare, fintech, or general business.
  • Workshops: hands-on, 2–4 hour sessions where the audience builds something real, an AI agent, an automation, or a working prototype, rather than just watching slides.
  • Panels: moderated or panelist role on AI ethics, adoption, careers, or governance, drawing on 10+ years building AI and data products in industry before teaching full-time.
  • Virtual sessions: full keynote, workshop, or panel formats delivered remotely for distributed teams, international audiences, or events without a physical venue.

Corporate AI training

Beyond conference talks, Arthi runs corporate AI training for teams and organizations: half-day and full-day sessions built around your industry and your team's actual work, not a generic AI 101 deck. Delivered in person across India, and also available fully online for distributed teams.

  • AI adoption for non-technical teams: getting an entire department comfortable using AI tools without a computer science background.
  • Generative AI in healthcare: NLP, LLM trends, and practical Gen AI applications for healthcare and research teams.
  • Building AI agents from scratch: a hands-on session where corporate teams leave having built a working AI agent.
  • AI governance, ethics & guardrails: bias, risk, and responsible-AI frameworks for teams shipping AI-powered products.
  • Data science career pathways: for HR and L&D teams building internal AI/data talent pipelines.
  • Personal branding for tech professionals: helping technical staff build a credible public presence in the AI era.

Frequently asked questions

Does Arthi do corporate AI training, not just conference talks?

Yes. Alongside keynotes and panels, Arthi runs corporate AI training for teams: half-day and full-day formats that combine a plain-English AI briefing with a hands-on build session, so non-technical teams leave having actually used AI tools, not just heard about them.

Is Arthi available for events in India and online?

Both. Arthi is based in India and speaks in person at conferences, universities, and companies across the country, and also delivers virtual keynotes and workshops for international or distributed audiences.

What audience sizes and formats does she cover?

Everything from a 20-person internal workshop to a 25,000+ reach conference keynote. Formats include keynotes, hands-on workshops, panels, and fully virtual sessions.

What topics can a corporate training session cover?

Sessions are built around the audience: AI for non-technical teams, generative AI in healthcare, building AI agents, AI governance and ethics, data science career pathways, and personal branding for technical staff.

How far in advance should we book?

4–6 weeks is ideal for keynotes and corporate training so the content can be tailored to your audience, but shorter timelines are sometimes possible.

What is the typical budget range?

Budgets vary by format, audience size, and whether the session is in-person or virtual. Share your budget in the inquiry form (a range or 'negotiable' is fine) and Arthi will confirm fit.

What audiences say

The class was very exciting and interactive. Arthi mam did a great job at delivering things clearly. I was able to learn many new things through this session.

CSE Student, SRM Trichy (Workshop feedback, 5/5)

I am a healthcare professional with no knowledge about AI. I was always scared to explore AI because it is always portrayed as a huge thing. A one-on-one session with Arthi was eye-opening for me, useful, and it gave hope that even a person with zero knowledge about AI can start.

Yogalakshmi R, Healthcare Professional (1:1 session, 5/5)

Anybody: I already do. You broke down the fundamentals so well that I left feeling like an expert.

Mal, Artist (Residency feedback, 5/5)

Before this workshop I'd never touched an API. Four hours later I had a voice agent replying to me in the browser. I gave it a 10 out of 10.

1st Year CSE, SRM Trichy (Workshop feedback, 5/5)

I walked in not knowing what a function tool was. I walked out having registered one myself and watched Jarvis call it live.

2nd Year CSE, SRM Trichy (Workshop feedback, 5/5)

She made something genuinely complex feel completely approachable without dumbing it down. Confident I can build on this now.

CSE Student, SRM Trichy (Workshop feedback, 5/5)

I came in at a 1 on confidence to build AI agents. I left at a 5. The hands-on format meant I was never just watching.

1st Year CSE, SRM Trichy (Workshop feedback, 5/5)

The pacing was exactly right. The agent.py deep dive was the best part. I finally understand how LLMs connect to real-world tools.
