AIUdaan

AI Udaan is one-on-one career acceleration for senior engineers and engineering leaders operating where there is no map. Udaan (उड़ान) means flight. The work is the climb: the Staff or Principal promo that keeps slipping, the first Director or VP seat, the move between management and IC in either direction. This is not advice from the sidelines. We take your goal and run it like a project. Scope it, map your org and the stakeholders around you, build the artifacts that make your thinking legible, then work it week by week with blunt feedback and specific tasks between sessions. For every hour with you there is an hour of preparation on your exact situation. Where AI has moved the bar in your org, we build something real to clear it. Behind it: 25 years inside Microsoft, Google, and Meta, including going back to an IC role as a Director after 22 years away. That taught me more than any promotion. Ten years mentoring 100+ engineers, managers, directors, and partners, many of whom earned a hard promotion, and others who got unstuck, changed direction, or grew into VP and partner roles. Several are now at OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft, and Tempus AI. Three ways in, and every engagement credits forward if you go deeper: a Diagnostic session that maps your whole board, a Half Arc over three months, and a Full Arc over six. One-on-one only. Six clients at any time, never more. No cohorts, no group calls, no interview cramming, no resume rewrites. Start with a 20 minute fit call. Free, and not a sales call.
