◆ About Hitesh
Hitesh is London's FDE Forward Deployed Engineering Trainer — University of London faculty, trusted by the City's most ambitious enterprises
Hitesh Motwani has spent 17+ years as a cross-industry AI deployment practitioner with strong institutional ties to London — as visiting faculty at the University of London, he delivers in the city’s academic and corporate environment with equal authority. His FDE training is built for London’s pace: Canary Wharf’s compliance-driven financial deployment, Tech City’s startup velocity, and the City’s global multinational ambition — all requiring engineers who can close the gap from AI demo to production system.
His practitioner roots — HDFC Bank, HSBC (including London operations), and DSP BlackRock in BFSI; Ogilvy and Rediffusion Y&R in advertising — give him institutional familiarity with London’s financial services culture that few AI trainers have. He has trained corporate teams at HSBC, global consultancies, and UK-based GCCs of multinational technology organisations, always adapting to the rigour London’s enterprise culture demands.
Today, as Founder & Lead Trainer at Skillopedia, he has trained 2,00,000+ professionals across 16+ countries including UK and London enterprises, serves as visiting faculty at the University of London and 9 IIMs, and authored Generative AI 360° (ZebraLearn, 2025). For London: building Forward Deployed Engineers inside Canary Wharf’s financial institutions, the City’s global banks, Tech City’s scale-ups, and London’s world-class AI research and enterprise ecosystem.
