Masai, an EdTech platform, has launched its latest 4-month online certification program in Applied AI and ML Essentials in partnership with I Hub IIT Patna. The program will be offered in Hindi, Telugu, Marathi and Tamil, making it the first IIT backed course to be delivered in regional languages across India.
The curriculum begins with Python programming and data visualization. It then covers regression, classification, clustering and model evaluation. Learners move forward to deep learning, neural networks, CNNs, RNNs, Transformers, reinforcement learning and computer vision. The program also includes natural language processing, generative models, AutoML, MLOps and cloud deployment. Ethical use of AI is included in all modules.
Participants will work on projects such as customer segmentation, image classification and text based applications. They will also build a portfolio that shows their ability to apply AI and ML techniques to business problems. After completing the program and its assessments, learners will receive a certificate from Vishlesan I Hub IIT Patna.
Enrolments are now open on the Masai platform, and interested learners can submit their applications to join the first cohort.
Prateek Shukla, CEO & Co Founder of Masai, said, “Large parts of India have strong talent but limited access to structured technology education. For many learners outside major metros, the language of instruction becomes a barrier before the subject itself. By working with IIT Patna to deliver this program in Hindi, Telugu, Marathi and Tamil, we are opening AI and ML education to a much wider group of students. The curriculum focuses on practical applications that companies expect from entry level talent today, and we believe this will help strengthen the supply of job ready professionals in a market where demand for these skills is expanding rapidly.”
Dr. Sai Kiran Oruganti, the CEO of the Vishlesan I-Hub Foundation, Technology Innovation Hub (TIH) at Indian Institute of Technology Patna said, “Companies across sectors are investing in AI and ML and there is a clear need for trained professionals who can work with these technologies from day one. Many capable learners hesitate to pursue advanced courses because the language gap affects their ability to understand the material. Delivering this program in regional languages will help bridge that gap and create a more inclusive pipeline of AI talent. Our collaboration with Masai aims to support industry requirements and contribute to a stronger and more prepared technology workforce in the country.”
