◆ About Hitesh
Hitesh is India's leading Top FDE Forward Deployed Engineering Trainer — because he's deployed AI in Indian enterprises
Hitesh Motwani has spent 17+ years at the intersection of India’s technology, business, and training landscape. Before Generative AI, he led real digital and data work across India’s BFSI, advertising, and insurance sectors — which is exactly why his FDE training isn’t theory. He teaches the deployment craft the way India’s best field engineers actually live it.
His practitioner roots are deeply Indian: BFSI at HDFC Bank, HSBC India, and DSP BlackRock Mutual Fund; advertising at Ogilvy India and Rediffusion Y&R — where he led digital for Ratan Tata and spearheaded the Twitter India launch; and insurance with Coverfox. This cross-sector Indian industry grounding is why he trains engineers across BFSI, pharma, FMCG, manufacturing, and IT with unmatched credibility.
Today, as Founder & Lead Trainer at Skillopedia, he has trained 2,00,000+ professionals across India and 16+ countries, serves as visiting faculty at 9 IIMs and the University of London, and authored Generative AI 360° (ZebraLearn, 2025). His singular focus: building India’s Forward Deployed Engineers — the professionals turning AI from a demo into adopted, ROI-positive systems inside Indian enterprises.
