◆ About Hitesh

Hitesh is Surat's FDE Forward Deployed Engineering Trainer — because Gujarat's diamond city deserves world-class AI deployment

Hitesh Motwani has spent 17+ years in India’s most demanding business environments — including Gujarat’s industrial heartland. His practitioner roots in BFSI, advertising, and insurance directly address the real AI deployment challenges that Surat’s rapidly digitising diamond, textile, and petrochemical industries face in 2026. He doesn’t teach AI theory — he teaches the deployment craft that Surat’s business owners and engineers can apply the next morning.

His cross-sector experience — HDFC Bank, HSBC, DSP BlackRock in BFSI; Ogilvy and Rediffusion Y&R in advertising, including digital leadership for Ratan Tata and the Twitter India launch — gives him a business vocabulary that Surat’s industrialists and tech teams both respond to. He has trained corporate teams at organisations deeply tied to Gujarat’s industrial supply chain, bringing real-world AI deployment skills to businesses that move fast and demand ROI.

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 Ahmedabad and 8 other IIMs, and authored Generative AI 360° (ZebraLearn, 2025). For Surat: building Forward Deployed Engineers inside the city’s diamond trading houses, textile conglomerates, petrochemical firms, and MSME technology companies — the businesses that define Gujarat’s commercial engine.
