In his own words

Why I started Trendwise

I spent 15 years inside enterprise technology — at IBM managing global teams, at SAP Labs leading product innovation. I saw firsthand how difficult it was for large organisations to actually absorb new technology. Not because the technology wasn't ready. Because the people weren't trained to use it with confidence.

When Generative AI arrived, I saw the same pattern repeating: enormous potential, significant confusion, and a training industry that was mostly delivering slides about slides. I started Trendwise because I believed the only training worth delivering is training where participants walk out with something they actually built.

That's still our only rule.

"The measure of any AI training program is what your team ships in the week after it ends. Not the score on the assessment."

— Mohan Silaparasetty, Founder, Trendwise Analytics

Training philosophy

Hands-on by default

Every program ends with participants having built something real — not just having watched slides about what's possible.

Context-first

Demos and examples always use the client's actual industry, tools, and business scenarios — not generic toy examples.

Executive to engineer

Comfortable at the CXO strategy table and at the developer workstation. Most trainers can do one. Mohan does both.
