◆ About Hitesh
Hitesh is a Top FDE Forward Deployed Engineering Trainer in the UK — University of London faculty, trusted by UK enterprises to deploy AI at scale
Hitesh Motwani has spent 17+ years as a cross-industry AI deployment practitioner with strong institutional ties to the United Kingdom — as visiting faculty at the University of London, he understands the rigour and enterprise context that UK corporate and financial teams demand from AI training. His FDE programme is built on real production deployments, not academic exercises, and it is designed to meet the compliance and governance requirements of the UK’s regulated financial and industrial sectors.
His practitioner roots — HDFC Bank, HSBC UK&I, and DSP BlackRock in BFSI (including direct HSBC experience); Ogilvy and Rediffusion Y&R in advertising — give him institutional familiarity with UK corporate culture that foreign trainers rarely have. His global delivery across 16+ countries includes extensive work with UK-headquartered multinationals and their India-based engineering teams.
Today, as Founder & Lead Trainer at Skillopedia, he has trained 2,00,000+ professionals across 16+ countries including UK enterprises, serves as visiting faculty at the University of London and 9 IIMs, and authored Generative AI 360° (ZebraLearn, 2025). For UK organisations: building Forward Deployed Engineers inside London’s financial district, Manchester’s tech sector, Edinburgh’s fintech corridor, and UK-based GCCs of global technology companies.
