Someone you trust.
Trained to build.

Sponsor a person inside your company for a six-month Forward Deployed Engineer path — or bring Ankit embedded to lead the product track and train 1–2 people alongside. Same outcome: your team ships and maintains internal software.

Two paths

Pick how deep
you want to go.

Sponsor-only

Train your person

You already have product leadership. You need someone trained into an FDE. They join the cohort, build on real work, and return able to own internal software end to end.

Full engagement

Builder + uplift

Ankit embeds to lead your product or internal-tools track, ships v1 with you, and trains 1–2 insiders on Cursor so they can develop, enhance, and maintain what you build.

Pricing & shape

Clear numbers.
No invented tiers.

Fee

₹10k / mo

Per student. ₹60,000 total for six months.

Cohort

5 seats

One company can take every seat. Runs when full.

Duration

6 months

Hands-on, remote-friendly, project-based.

Who to send

Someone already inside — curious, reliable, close to the problem. Not necessarily a CS grad. Often the best FDE is the person who’s been fixing things manually for months.

Why sponsor

₹60,000 over six months beats a mis-hire, a bloated agency, or waiting a year for the “perfect” senior who never quite gets your business.

Curriculum

Six months.
What we actually do.

Project-based mentorship, not a video syllabus. Progress is measured by what ships and what the student can maintain.

Phase 01Months 1–2

Foundations

Get productive in a real codebase. Cursor becomes the daily environment — not a demo tool.

  • Environment & repos — setup, cloning, branches, first calm PR.
  • Reading code — navigate unfamiliar projects; change one thing without breaking five.
  • Ship small — copy, UI, config, simple logic that lands and gets reviewed.
  • Business context — map how the sponsor’s company actually runs.

Exit: Orient in a repo, make a small change with Cursor, open a PR, explain why.

Phase 02Months 2–3

AI-native workflows

Agents, context, and iteration speed that hold up in a codebase — not one-shot prompts.

  • Context over clever prompts — right files, errors, constraints.
  • Plan → generate → verify → fix — the loop on every feature.
  • Agents as pair, not autopilot — accept, reject, rewrite by hand.
  • First tool slice — thin vertical utility, deployable and revisitable.

Exit: Take a fuzzy operational need and ship a thin vertical slice without waiting for a senior to type every line.

Phase 03Months 3–5

Embedded practice

Real requirements. Develop → enhance → maintain across tools that matter.

  • Requirements from the floor — Excel Fridays become software.
  • Constraints that teach — permissions, messy data, field use, handoffs.
  • Survive you — naming, structure, deploy notes the company can run.
  • Review culture — weekly demos; feedback as product input.

Exit: Owned at least one internal tool through a full cycle — live users, changes after launch, a path to keep it healthy.

Phase 04Months 5–6

FDE readiness

Own a slice end to end. Leave as an embedded builder — not someone who completed a course.

  • End-to-end ownership — problem → ship → monitor → next backlog.
  • Runbooks & handoff — deploy, access, recover without the mentor in the room.
  • Sponsor readout — what was built, what it replaced, next 90 days.
  • FDE habits — sit close to the business; prefer working software over decks.

Exit: A Forward Deployed Engineer on the team — without a ₹30L hire or an agency on retainer.

Build time

Most hours on the student’s machine — shipping in Cursor, not passive video.

Mentorship

Live sessions with Ankit: unblock, review PRs, sharpen judgment on AI output.

Sponsor loop

Periodic demos so training stays tied to operational reality.

FAQ

Founder track questions.

Can employees apply without a sponsor?

They can express interest on the apply page, but seats are company-sponsored. Individuals who want to try Cursor first should use the 7-day workshop.

When does a cohort start?

When five seats are committed. One founder can send a single person — or fill all five with their own team.
