What can you create?
Personalized learning systems
You can build AI based personalized learning systems that are paced as per individual preference, adapted to your interests, and have intelligent AI based tutors who help you just where you need it - to make your learning journey effective, adventurous and your own!
AI-based health solutions
You can create AI based healthcare start-ups that help predict and diagnose diseases such as cancer and tuberculosis early with higher accuracy, through deep learning algorithms and image recognition technologies.
Music, art and more
Companies already use big data to help people discover amazing new music and movies aligned to their tastes, find clothes they like better and more. Soon you can even use AI to create hit songs (look up “Not Easy”), create best-selling art and anything else you imagine!

Experiential Learning
Integrated learning experience across 4 years. You will work on authentic, real world projects through industry and community engagement or by research with faculty.- Coding Cafe and Makerspaces
- Entrepreneurship
- Student led clubs
By having access to state-of-the-art makerspaces and coding cafes and incorporating them in the curriculum, students will become more context-aware, develop critical thinking abilities, and learn by creating. This will help foster a tinkering and problem solving mindset, immersing students in experiential learning from day one. These areas will be open to students to explore, create, prototype and design, while also housing equipment and technologies like 3D printers, sensors, etc.
The core curriculum will not just be limited to engineering and sciences, but bring in exposure to entrepreneurship and design which will enable humane and empathetic outcomes through technology. Each student will undertake multiple different experiences to develop skills like finding opportunities, creating value, and embracing risks. Students will be mentored and supported by Plaksha founders and professionals from industry.
At Plaksha, learning and skill development do not stop in the classroom. Students will have the opportunity to create and immerse themselves in pursuing their academic and creative interests. Student led clubs will be autonomous bodies that operate under the purview of the Office of Student Life. Being the founding batch, students will be encouraged to help establish a vibrant culture through clubs and societies on campus.

It's really a dream come true for me. It wouldn't have been possible without the support and learning I had at Plaksha TLF. Interdisciplinary courses taught by global faculty enhanced my skill set especially in building scalable products, thus furthering my prospects in the product management space.
Shubham Goel
Senior Product Manager, Microsoft
Plaksha provided me the platform to switch from development consulting to product management- an extremely difficult transition without an MBA. The Fellowship's design makes you a more thoughtful, empathetic and inclusive leader, which is the difference between a great product manager and a good product manager.
