Deepak is passionate about turning GenAI education into career-ready outcomes and is always eager to connect with fellow builders and innovators.
HiDevs is building the world’s largest GenAI workforce by solving the problem of impersonal and outdated upskilling in AI. While millions want to learn AI and GenAI, most platforms offer generic content that lacks hands-on practice, adaptive feedback, and real-world readiness.
HiDevs solves this with a Duolingo-style, gamified learning platform focused on personalized roadmaps, resume-based learning paths, AI-powered interview feedback, and performance scoring through the unique HiDevs Score. Users engage in workshops, mock interviews, and labs that adapt to their skills, keeping them job-ready in the GenAI era.
