Somah Studio

Now enrolling

Build with AI.
Don't just use it.

Somah Studio runs tutor-led, in-person AI programs from a focused studio classroom in Gurgaon. For teenagers, college students, and working professionals. Each cohort builds — and ships — a real working AI artifact across twelve weekends.

A note on what we're doing here

AI changed how things get built. Most people now use it casually. Very few know how to build with it. We exist to close that gap.

Every Somah cohort ships a real artifact, regardless of audience — a project a fourteen-year-old can show their parents on Demo Day, a portfolio app a college student can put on GitHub, an automation a working professional can use at work the next Monday.



The approach

Why we built this the way we did.

I.

Real outputs, not slides.

We measure success by what a student walks out with. A working AI bot, a deployable web app, an automation that saves a workday. Anything less is a course, not a program.

II.

Tutor-led, in person.

Up to eight students per batch. One classroom. One tutor. Online learning works for the most disciplined among us — the rest of us need someone in the room when we get stuck.

III.

Built by people who ship.

The program is built and run by engineers who've shipped real, working AI products. The training reflects that.


Anyone can prompt a chatbot.
Very few can build a real one.
