Made for Owners of Non-Tech Businesses
Most AI talk is aimed at software companies. But some of the biggest changes are coming to businesses that make, sell, build, move, treat and teach. If you run one, the real question is simple: “What does this actually mean for my company?” This masterclass is a private half day to answer exactly that, for your business, in plain language, at your pace.
- You own or run a non-tech business: manufacturing, trading, retail, real estate, healthcare, education, logistics, hospitality or services
- Technology isn't your field, and you want AI explained in plain business language
- You keep hearing about ChatGPT, GenAI and AI agents and want to know what's real for a business like yours
- You'd rather ask your own questions in private than sit through a tech-heavy seminar
Built Around Your Industry
Every session is tailored to the business in front of me. A few of the areas founders typically want to explore:
Manufacturing & engineering
Production planning, quality checks, maintenance, procurement and the paperwork around them.
Trading, retail & distribution
Demand forecasting, inventory, pricing, dealer networks and customer follow-ups.
Real estate & construction
Lead handling, project tracking, documentation and customer communication.
Healthcare, pharma & diagnostics
Patient communication, records and back-office work, with privacy taken seriously.
Education & training
Admissions, student support, content and the administration behind the classroom.
Logistics & transport
Routing, tracking, billing and the endless coordination calls.
Hospitality, travel & food
Bookings, reviews, menus, staffing and guest service.
Professional & family businesses
CA and legal firms, agencies, and family-run companies thinking about the next generation.
Not a Seminar. A Conversation About Your Business.
How the Half Day Flows
There's a loose shape, not a script. If a question takes us somewhere more useful, we follow it.
- 01
Before the session
A short conversation about your company, industry, team and what's on your mind, so the session is built around you.
- 02
Where AI really is today
ChatGPT-style GenAI, AI agents and automation in plain language, with examples from businesses like yours: what works now, what's still hype, and how fast things are moving.
- 03
Your company through an AI lens
Your customers, sales, operations, accounts, people and competitors: where AI can create value, where it can cut cost, and where it creates risk.
- 04
Ask me anything
An open floor. Strategy, hiring, budgets, vendors, security, the questions you'd hesitate to ask in a room full of people.
Ask Me Anything. Founders Often Start With…
- ❯My business isn't a tech company. How much does AI really matter to us?
- ❯How will AI change my industry over the next one to three years?
- ❯Which parts of my business could AI take on today: sales, back office, customer service?
- ❯Do I need to hire a tech team, or can I start without one?
- ❯What happens to my staff? Who should we upskill, and how?
- ❯How much should we spend, and what return is realistic?
- ❯How do I judge AI vendors and IT companies without being sold to?
- ❯What about data privacy, the DPDP Act and security risks?
No question is too basic, too technical or too sensitive. That's the point of doing it one-to-one.
What You Leave With
- A clear, hype-free picture of where AI stands today
- The opportunities most relevant to your company, in priority order
- The risks to watch: data, security, compliance and vendor lock-in
- Practical first steps you can act on in the next 90 days

AI Masterclass for Founders: FAQs
❯What is an AI masterclass for business owners?
A private, half-day, one-to-one session with Aloke Majumder for the founder or owner of a business, mainly non-tech companies. It explains in plain business language where AI, GenAI and AI agents really stand today, works through what they mean for your own company and industry, and leaves plenty of time for you to ask anything.
❯Who is the AI masterclass for?
Mainly founders and owners of non-tech businesses: manufacturing, trading, retail and distribution, real estate, healthcare, education, logistics, hospitality, professional services and family-run companies. It's for the decision-maker who wants to understand AI and what it means for their organisation, without needing a technical background.
❯Do I need a technical background?
No. The masterclass is designed for owners of non-tech businesses, and everything is explained in plain business language, without jargon.
❯My business isn't a tech company. Is AI really relevant to us?
Yes, often more than people expect. AI is changing how companies that make, sell, build, move, treat and teach handle customers, paperwork, forecasting and day-to-day operations. The masterclass separates what's genuinely useful for your business today from what can wait.
❯Is the session really tailored to my company?
Yes. Before the session we talk about your company, industry and priorities, and the conversation is built around them. No two masterclasses are the same.
❯How long is it, and where does it happen?
Half a day. In person at your office in Kolkata, or virtual by video call if you're elsewhere in India or abroad.
❯Can my leadership team join?
The masterclass is designed as a one-to-one for the founder or owner. For your leadership team, the AI for Leaders & CXOs programme on the training page is the better fit.
❯How is the masterclass different from AI consulting or training?
The masterclass is a half-day conversation with the founder to build understanding and clarity. Consulting is ongoing hands-on work on architecture, use cases and security. Training is a structured programme for teams. Many founders start with the masterclass and decide from there.
❯Where is the masterclass held? Is it available outside Kolkata?
In person at your office in Kolkata and West Bengal, in person by arrangement across Eastern India (Bhubaneswar, Guwahati, Patna, Ranchi, Jamshedpur), and virtually for founders anywhere in India or abroad.
❯Is this a sales pitch for consulting?
No. The session stands on its own. If you later want hands-on help, consulting and team training are available separately, but there's no obligation.
❯Is what I share confidential?
Yes. Everything you share about your company stays between us.
❯How do I book, and what does it cost?
