◆ About Hitesh
Hitesh is Kolkata's FDE Forward Deployed Engineering Trainer — IIM Calcutta faculty, trusted by Bengal's enterprise leaders
Hitesh Motwani has spent 17+ years at the intersection of India’s technology and business landscape — including Kolkata’s BFSI, manufacturing, and logistics sectors. As visiting faculty at IIM Calcutta, India’s oldest and most prestigious IIM, Hitesh understands the rigour and practicality that Kolkata’s enterprise leaders demand from AI training. His FDE programme is not theory — it is the same hands-on deployment methodology that ships production AI inside real organisations.
His practitioner roots — HDFC Bank, HSBC, DSP BlackRock in BFSI; Ogilvy and Rediffusion Y&R in advertising, where he led digital for Ratan Tata and the Twitter India launch — give him deep credibility with Kolkata’s financially sophisticated corporate base. ITC, Coal India, Tata Steel, Exide, and Bandhan Bank all operate in sectors where AI deployment must be rigorous, compliant, and reliable — exactly the environment Hitesh’s training prepares engineers for.
Today, as Founder & Lead Trainer at Skillopedia, he has trained 2,00,000+ professionals across India and 16+ countries, serves as visiting faculty at IIM Calcutta and 8 other IIMs, and authored Generative AI 360° (ZebraLearn, 2025). For Kolkata: building Forward Deployed Engineers inside the city’s BFSI houses, manufacturing conglomerates, logistics majors, and Salt Lake tech corridor organisations.
