1-on-1 mentorship in small batches, taught by a working software architect with three decades in the industry. You leave with real, deployed software, and a reference from us.
சிகரம் · sigaram, Tamil for ‘the summit’. Every course here is one step up.
The Foundations Ladder
Each course is one step up. Start wherever you are and finish with software that is live on the internet, with your name on it.
4 weeks
Master ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini for daily work: write winning prompts, automate reports & emails, and do an hour's work in ten minutes.
Start here. No code, a phone is enough.
6 weeks
Code with AI from day one: Python & JavaScript with Claude Code. Levels, XP, streaks. Final boss: a full stack app, live URL, big flex.
Unlocks after F1, or start here if you are in college.
10 weeks
Pair with Claude Code to build a complete product: database, login and CRUD, deployed live with your name on it.
Unlocks after F2, or skip in with a short build test.
8 weeks
Add intelligence to what you built: model APIs, prompt engineering, and AI agents shipped inside your own live product.
Unlocks after F3. Ship AI inside your own live product.
12 weeks, weekends. Next batch October 2026.
Already code? Go straight to AI: model APIs, RAG pipelines and autonomous agents, shipped inside a product you build during the course. Saturdays and Sundays, so it fits around a job.
For engineers, CS graduates, and anyone who ships software for a living.
Saturdays and Sundays, 12-week terms. Next term October 2026.
Weekend batches and summer camps for school students. Scratch, then Python, then a first website of their own. Small groups, Tamil and English, no experience needed. Parents get a short note after every class on what their child built.
Summer camp in April and May, ₹4,000

The Sigaram Residency
Residents join the founder’s team and work on live products for clients in the US, the Middle East and Australia. You own a feature from spec to production, sit in the weekly review, and ship under your own name.
Sigaram graduates who have completed F3 or F4, or engineers and CS graduates who pass a two-hour build test. We look at what you can build, not your marks.
The codebase, the tools, the way we review work. Your first fix goes to production in week two.
Own one feature at a time: database, API, interface, tests, deploy. Weekly review with the founder.
Lead a small piece of work end to end and hand it over properly, with documentation someone else can use.
We do not guarantee a job. We guarantee real hands on experience, a live product, and an honest reference. That is worth more.
What you leave with
Why Sigaram
We do not hand out tools; you learn what is happening underneath, whether it is a web app, a database or a language model.
Most teaching is live programming on screen. Students join real development work as soon as they are ready.
Seats capped so nobody hides at the back.
The founder actively studies how LLMs learn and store knowledge, and that work shapes the curriculum.
Research
Alongside teaching, the founder trains small transformers from scratch and has written a C++ workbook on LLM engineering for students. That work shapes every course here.
Once a month we run an open reading circle on the inside of language models: attention, training, inference. Free, small, and honest about what we do not yet know.

We hope to be worthy of our address.
Questions
Both. We explain in Tamil wherever it helps. Code, documentation and client communication are in English, because that is how the industry works, and you will be ready for it.
For F1, a phone is enough. From F2 onward, yes. We keep a few loaner laptops in the lab for students who are arranging one.
Yes, monthly, for every course including the Residency.
F1 to F4 run in the evenings with a Saturday lab. AI for Developers is weekends only. The Residency is full-time.
Yes, if you pass a short build test. We look at what you can build, not your certificates.
No. We guarantee real hands on experience,on a live product with your name on it, and an honest reference. Our residents leave with production commits, which is what a remote employer or a client actually checks.
Students in 8th to 12th standard. No experience needed. Weekend batches during the year and a summer camp in April and May.
