Is AI Residency program for YOU ?

For Companies & Startups

Build AI talent inside your team

If you are looking to upskill your employees, interns, or junior team members in AI, our AI Residency Program can help you build real in-house capability.

Instead of relying only on external hiring, you can develop talent within your team — people who already understand your business and domain— and enable them with practical AI skills through structured, hands-on training.

This is ideal for companies that want to:

build internal AI capability
upskill junior team members and interns
support real AI projects inside the business
create long-term AI adoption

The program runs on weekends, making it practical for working professionals.

We are also offering special scholarship opportunities for companies enrolling team members.

I recently had a one-to-one consultation session with Mohammad Arshad, and it turned out to be a very insightful one. He gave me some recommendations on how to optimize my LinkedIn profile and improve my Content strategies. And the best part was these were not generic recommendations. They were based on data. He had actually looked at my LinkedIn data and provided pin-pointed insights based on the analysis of that data. That's when I understood why people call him a data scientist. He made a nifty little dashboard to help me make decisions before doing any linkedin posts. I would easily recommend Mohammad Arshad to anyone who wants an analytical look at their LinkedIn presence and make their content strategy more effective based on data-backed insights. In fact, not just Linkedin; I would recommend you to talk to him for any kind of Data Analysis !!

I recently completed the 3-day Accelerated AI Bootcamp with Decoding Data Science, and it exceeded my expectations in every way. What impressed me the most was the focus on hands-on learning—we didn't just learn AI concepts; we built a real-world HR chatbot from scratch using technologies like LlamaIndex, OpenAI, Pinecone, and Gradio. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping every participant succeed, regardless of their technical background. Equally impressive was the DDS community itself. The collaborative, supportive, and encouraging environment made the learning experience even more enjoyable, and it was inspiring to learn alongside so many passionate professionals from diverse backgrounds. If you're serious about moving beyond theory and gaining practical AI skills that you can immediately apply, I highly recommend Decoding Data Science. Thank you to the entire DDS team for creating such an amazing learning experience. I'm excited to continue my AI journey with this incredible community!

Bushra Zareen

Completing the September 2026 Agentic AI Application Challenge has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Over eight days, I had the opportunity to take Kindred—an idea centered on connecting people who need everyday assistance with trusted helpers—and progressively shape it into a working AI-enabled solution, while learning through building, testing, feedback, and continuous improvement. What made this experience truly special, however, was the Decoding Data Science community. The encouragement from fellow participants, thoughtful feedback from mentors, and the learning environment created by Mohammad Arshad and the DDS team made this feel like much more than a competition—it felt like a community building and growing together. I’m grateful to have been part of this journey and proud of everyone who stepped forward to turn an idea into something real. Winning is wonderful, but having the courage to participate, learn, build, share, and reach the finish line makes every participant a winner. 🏆🚀 Thank you, DDS, for continuing to create a community where curiosity becomes learning, learning becomes building, and building can become impact. ❤️
