Plaksha Founders' view on how TLF will nurture tech leaders who will solve big real-world challenges and create impact.

Dr. Sastry, former Dean of Engineering, UC Berkeley, elucidates why TLF is one-of-its-kind postgraduate program

Over 60+ industry leaders, tech entrepreneurs and senior academicians from across the world have come together to found Reimagining Higher Education Foundation. TLF is being offered as a one year, full time, certificate program by Reimagining Higher Education Foundation.


TLF is an outcome of the collective founding vision. The program has been designed to create tech leaders who will lead organizations, build path-breaking ventures and help solve real world challenges for India and the world.


The first-of-its-kind, TLF interweaves Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) with real-world application, leadership and mentorship.


The curriculum has been designed by a Program Committee of academicians and cutting-edge AI and ML practitioners and researchers.


TLF is built on four intertwined threads: Data-X coursework (AI and ML, design and systems thinking), Real-world Projects (Challenge Lab and Capstone Project), Guest Sessions by domain experts, business leaders and entrepreneurs, and Leadership and Mentorship. The Capstone will be intense AI and ML centric projects across three months at leading corporations or research labs.
