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!
Learning Experiences
Multidisciplinary approach & interdisciplinary perspective
Interacting with and drawing from multiple fields of expertise, making connections between disciplines, analyzing the humanistic, socio-economic, and technical contexts of problems.
Foundational Tech core
Developing an interdisciplinary foundation featuring math, physics, computer science and engineering principles such that they come together as an integrated whole, not segmented topics.
Design & research ability
Identifying and understanding human needs and solving problems creatively through sustained critical investigation.
Innovation & entrepreneurship mindset
Finding opportunities, identifying business models, embracing ambiguity to create value in the marketplace or in society.
Societal responsibility
Considering the social and human consequences of actions and responsibilities to others in local, national, and global communities; acting to improve the human condition.
Leadership & self-reflection
Creating impact through actively developing skills like communication, creativity, critical thinking and collaboration.
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.

Through a balanced curriculum focusing both on core technology as well as leadership potential, Plaksha Tech Leaders Fellowship has helped me be a confident and conscious Data Scientist, capable of thinking critically and building technological solutions with empathy.
Praveen Sridhar
Data Scientist, BCG (Tokyo)
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.

Plaksha has an excellent network of faculty, speakers and founders. Leadership bootcamps at TLF helped me groom my personality, overcome my limitations and learn skills like time management and multi-tasking. I have been able to leverage the exposure and opportunities to further my career.
Karthika Kamath
Imagineer, Fractal Analytics
Plaksha's experiential learning was a great experience. Instead of rote learning, I got to work on real-world projects under the guidance of industry mentors. Through multiple leadership workshops, I learnt that technology must be combined with leadership skills to drive a positive impact on society.
Neha Gupta
Data Scientist, Apptio
My journey at Plaksha TLF has been an endless journey of learning and opportunities; be it learning professionalism, developing work ethics, imbibing soft skills or forming some lovely bonds for a lifetime. I have witnessed my skills and competence rising to the zenith. Thanks to Plaksha for doing such a splendid job!
