Host this workshop
For chambers, associations & business networks
If you lead a chamber, industry association, MSME body, or business network in Surat or elsewhere — we'd like to talk. A typical partnership: you provide the venue and audience; we bring the speaker, content, demos, and workshop kit.
Member tickets are typically subsidised or free under a partnership. The agenda adapts to your members' sectors — textile, diamond, manufacturing, exports, services, or mixed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this confirmed for Surat?+
Surat is the pilot city. We are in active discussions with SGCCI and a few industry associations as hosting partners. Dates lock once partnership and venue confirm — register your interest and we'll notify you when we open registrations.
Why a separate workshop from the engineering / professional tracks?+
Business owners have different priorities from individual contributors. Owners care about revenue, cost, operations, vendor decisions, and ROI — not personal productivity. We run this as a separate session because mixing audiences dilutes the content for both.
Will I need developers or technical staff to use what's taught?+
No. Every demo and workflow is designed to be usable by a business owner directly, or by your existing team without hiring developers. If you later want deeper automation or custom AI systems, AI Guru can scope a separate engagement.
Is my business data safe in these AI tools?+
We cover this directly in the session — which tools to use for sensitive data, when to use enterprise-tier accounts, what never to paste into a public AI tool, and how to set basic AI usage policies for your team.
What's the format and duration?+
Three hours, demo-heavy. Less theory, more live examples relevant to Surat business reality — textile, diamond, manufacturing, trading, and professional services. Includes a 15-minute break.
How much does it cost?+
Pilot pricing for Surat is ₹999 per attendee. When we partner with a chamber or association, member tickets are typically subsidised or free — depends on the host. Corporate group rates available for teams of 3+.
What's the ROI? Will I see business impact?+
The workshop is the introduction, not the implementation. You'll leave with a 30-day adoption plan and a free 30-min Business AI Assessment offer. Real impact comes from acting on what you learn — most owners who follow through see operational time savings within 30–60 days. AI Guru also offers paid implementation engagements if you want to move faster.
Will this be run in other cities?+
Surat is the pilot. Based on response and partner interest, we plan to extend to Rajkot, Ahmedabad, Anand, and other MSME-dense cities in 2026. If you'd like to host in your city, tell us.
