The in-person AI course in Kharar No coding needed to start Starts 1 September 2026

Anyone can use AI. Few build with it.
In Kharar, in 4 weeks, you will.

AI does the heavy lifting now. The scarce skill is the judgment to direct it. In 4 weeks you ship one real product, live, the kind you can show an employer or a client.

Your first class is free, sit in one before you pay a rupee. Then ₹5,000 + GST for Level 1, in person at our SCO 34, Sector 33D, Chandigarh classroom, an easy drive from Kharar. Starts 1 September 2026.

Real businesses run on these

Open the software real businesses run their whole day on.

Not demos. Live products his customers depend on, open them and judge the quality yourself. This is the kind of thing you'll learn to build.

Who teaches

Taught by Ashish Punj. He built the apps you just opened.

Open them: app.growtricity.com, the salon app, and Spoonies, built for a US client.

30 years building and selling software across the US and Mexico. He built Pikkop, a logistics platform in Mexico that moved over a million packages, and sold it in 2024. Earlier, enterprise fintech: migrating a bank's legacy Vision Plus card system to modern cloud Java. It's a room of 8, and he teaches every class himself.

He created NHA, his own method for making AI ship correct, checkable work instead of confident guesses. Schooled in Chandigarh, he has taught it to 100+ lawyers, founders and operators across Mexico and the USA. Now it's Tricity's turn.

What you do in Level 1

Walk in not knowing how.
Walk out having built something real, live.

Four weeks, 36 hours, in person. Everyone builds a real app, pointed at your own goal: your shop, a client, a portfolio. By the last class it is live, and it is yours.

01 A live web page Day one: set up your tools and put a real page on the internet. No coding needed.
02 Your app, designed You decide what to build, the screens and the data, and learn to direct AI to write it.
03 A working app Build it for real: a login, a database, screens and buttons that actually work.
04 Live on the internet Launch it on its own web address, tested and secure. It works with AI switched off.

No coding background needed. Bring a laptop. Three sessions a week, around your job or your shop.

You leave with a real thing, live the skill to build the next proof you can show
Who this is for

For people who want to build with AI, not just use it.

One course, one skill. You bring the goal, whether you already code or never have.

To get hired or freelance

  • You have the degree but can't build anything real yet. You walk out with one live app: proof you can build, not just pass exams.

For your own business

  • Your shop's website, WhatsApp orders, a billing tool: you build it yourself and change it whenever you want, no developer bills.

For your work or studies

  • AI does the laborious part of your job or class, reports, research, a daily ledger, with tools you build yourself.

Not for you if you want a certificate without building, a shortcut to money, or you can't come to Chandigarh in person.

What you'll learn

Everything here, you learn on software a real business runs today.

The topics below, every serious course teaches. What no one else can hand you is where you learn them, on real, live products his customers run their whole day on, shipping real features onto them. Not slides. Not a tutorial app that resets when class ends.

You don't practise on toy projects. Open one right now: app.growtricity.com. Vannessa Unisex Salon runs its whole day on it. And the open-source Clear Prompt Builder, the reliability tool forged on legal work in Mexico. You ship real features onto safe copies of software businesses depend on. Peter Diary, Peter CRM.

Build AI a real business can depend on

  • A business in Mexico runs its day on AI built this way, on legal documents, where one invented fact has a real consequence. You'll learn to make AI that reliable: it flags what it isn't sure of instead of inventing it.
  • The discipline is open-source: open his Clear Prompt Builder yourself. Making AI safe enough to put in front of a paying customer is the hard part, and the part a chatbot tour never reaches.

The AI toolkit, and the judgment to use it

  • Which AI model to trust for which job, open vs closed models, which are free vs paid, and the honest tradeoffs in cost, speed and quality.
  • When a free building block is enough, and when a paid one is worth it.
  • How to direct AI like a professional, not just chat with one bot.
  • When to give the AI reusable "skills", saved instructions that make it produce better, more consistent work, and which ones are worth building.

Work like a real engineering team

  • Track every change cleanly and write docs anyone can follow, the standard way teams work.
  • Keep "technical debt", the shortcuts that slow a project down later, under control.
  • Plan like pros (Kanban boards, Agile vs Waterfall) and test properly before users see it.
  • Manage your time the way real builders do, how much goes to coding, learning, research, brainstorming, and working problems out with other people.
  • The everyday working habits of real engineering teams, version control, code review, planning, testing.

Understand how AI works, and build agents

  • Open-source vs closed-source AI models, what each really is, the honest differences, and when to use which.
  • How AI models actually learn, in plain language, neural networks, weights and fine-tuning, without a science degree.
  • Build software agents that do real work on their own, and shape how one behaves for a specific job.
  • Enough real understanding to keep up as AI keeps changing, and adapt what you build.

Choose the stack, run the infrastructure

  • Choose the right tools and database by reasoning, not by copying a tutorial, the same calls he made building his live products.
  • Put your software online and keep it running safely, so it's not just on your laptop.
  • Keep it simple enough to manage, solid enough to do the job.

Design for real people, then ship

  • Read what a real business actually needs and find the quick wins, the way the salon app was shaped around how Vannessa Unisex Salon runs its day.
  • Design software people use without thinking, clear, low-effort, genuinely good UX.
  • Know when it's truly ready for users, release it, and keep it working as more people come.

Think first, then build

  • Don't build everything at once. Learn what to make first, the small things that help people the most.
  • Find the parts that annoy people while using your app (the "friction"), and fix those first.
  • Pick the easy wins first, the low-hanging fruit, so you see results fast.
  • Make screens people enjoy using, clean and simple (good UX and UI), never confusing.
  • Build it so it still works when 10 users become 1,000 (this is called scalability).
  • Learn how to take your product to the right people, who needs it, and how to reach them (this is "go-to-market").

Why this isn't a coaching class

You learn from someone who built it, on the software he built.

A Chandigarh salon, Vannessa Unisex Salon, runs its whole day on software the instructor built: sales, staff, payments. Open it yourself: app.growtricity.com. Here you ship real features onto safe copies of software like that, then your own. That is the part no slide-deck course can give you.

"You can outsource your thinking, but never your understanding."Andrej Karpathy · OpenAI founding member · AI Ascent 2026

You build on live products real businesses depend on

Not toy projects. You ship features onto safe copies of the apps real businesses run their day on, Peter Diary (Vannessa Unisex Salon) and Peter CRM (Mittal Spices), then your own. Open one now: app.growtricity.com. The work doesn't reset when class ends.

Taught by the builder, not a trainer

Ashish has built software for 30 years. Pikkop, a Mexico logistics platform that moved over a million packages, sold in 2024. WhatsApp CRMs that businesses in Mexico and India run on. And earlier, migrating a bank's legacy Vision Plus credit-card system to modern cloud Java. He teaches every class himself: eight people, in person.

You understand every line, or you don't move on

The AI writes the code; this is engineering, not hand-coding. But you explain what you built and direct AI to fix it. Can't explain it yet? You don't advance. That's what survives a real client.

The course · 3 levels, about 3 months

From "I don't know how to code" to "I ship real software or websites."

Three focused hours a day, three days a week, built around a job or studies. You build the whole time: about 108 hours of real shipping over three months, all in person. ₹15,000 + GST for all three levels (normally ₹27,000), a launch price for the first Tricity batch.

Level 1 · Month 1

Build & ship

Go from zero (or a little code) to two real products, live on the internet, a website and a working app.

  • The developer toolkit college skipped, the terminal, git, Linux, SSH
  • How to actually work with AI: which model for which job, giving it the right context, catching its mistakes
  • The tools the pros use. Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, and how to drive them
  • Build a clean, real website, live on its own web address
  • Build a full app with a login and a database, also live

You leave with: two live products + a GitHub anyone can open.

Level 2 · Month 2

Real software

Build the kind of software a business pays for, by shipping onto software a business already depends on.

  • Logins and accounts done properly, the same setup the instructor's live apps use
  • Keeping every customer's data separate and safe: you build it, then try to break it
  • Roles, permissions, and billing, free vs paid plans
  • Ship real features onto safe copies of apps a real business runs its day on: Peter Diary (open app.growtricity.com to see Vannessa Unisex Salon's), and Peter CRM.
  • Launch a production-grade app in the real world, live, on a real domain

You leave with: your own real software product a business could pay for.

Level 3 · Month 3

Automate & launch

Turn the skill into real, shippable products, and become job- and client-ready.

  • As a class, take a brand-new product all the way to live, research what people actually want, choose the right tools and libraries (the tech stack), and build the command center, the one dashboard it all runs on
  • Automation: software that runs on its own, on a schedule, no one watching
  • AI that answers from your own documents, not made-up answers
  • A working WhatsApp agent, live on a real number
  • Present your work: scoping and quoting real projects, proposals, handling clients
  • Your portfolio packaged + applications out, to jobs and clients alike
  • A special guest class with a working industry expert, from India or abroad.

You leave with: real software you've built and put online, a portfolio to show any employer or client, and you've already started applying, for jobs and freelance work.

A real skill

Build and ship real software. No honest person can promise the income itself.

Yeh koi jaadu ki pudiya nahi hai. The only honest guarantee is the teacher's record, and you can open it: app.growtricity.com.

Your first class is free. Sit in one, meet the instructor, then decide. No payment to hold a seat.

Before your first class

What to bring, and how a class runs.

No surprises. Here's exactly what to carry, how the day runs, and how to reach the room.

What to bring

  • Your own laptop, ideally one that can plug into a screen (an HDMI port, or a small USB-C adapter). Not sure what yours has? Send the instructor your laptop's details on WhatsApp and he'll tell you plainly whether it'll work.
  • A paid AI account: ChatGPT Plus (₹1,999/month incl. GST) or a Claude plan (~$17/month ≈ ₹1,500, includes Claude Code). It's your own subscription; the instructor tells you which one to buy, so you don't pay for more than you need.
  • A water bottle, you build for three hours
  • A notepad, a pencil and an eraser
  • Loose, comfortable clothes, you sit and focus for the full session

How a class runs

  • Reach 10 minutes early, we start on time
  • Phones off during class, full focus while you build
  • Two 15-minute breaks: bathroom, phone, or grab a snack
  • Bathroom is inside the office; the room is air-conditioned
  • Lockers for your bag and phone

How to reach

  • SCO 34, Sector 33D, Chandigarh, 160020
  • Near the Sector 33/34 and Sector 34 Market bus stops; ISBT-43 is close by
  • Coming by bus? Open it in Google Maps for the live route from where you are
If you're paying for your son or daughter

Straight answers for the person paying.

You work hard for your money. Here's the honest version, in plain words.

Pay one level at a time

₹5,000 a level, ₹15,000 in all, you pay in small steps, not one big cheque up front. Your child earns the next level by doing the work of the last.

Meet the instructor before you decide

Come to Sector 33D, sit across from the instructor, and see the real software he's built, before you pay anything.

A real teacher, a real classroom

Eight students, taught in person by someone who built and sold real software across the US and Mexico. You can sit in and watch before you decide.

Straight answers

The questions you're already asking.

Is this just another AI course?

Fair question, you should ask it. The honest answer isn't a promise, it's something you can check: come meet the instructor and open the real software he's built that real businesses run on. See it, then decide.

There are no student reviews yet.

True, this is the first Tricity batch. But the instructor has taught 100+ students across Mexico and the USA, and that launch price is low for exactly this reason: your results are how the next batch gets filled, so we genuinely need you to do well.

I only did college projects and I'm weak at coding. Can I do this?

That's exactly who this is built for. We start from the basics. The batch is only 8 people, taught in person, so nobody is left behind.

What if my laptop is weak, or I'm staying in a PG?

A basic laptop is enough, most of the heavy work runs in the cloud, not on your machine. You just need to show up and put in the hours between classes.

How much time does it take?

Three levels over about three months, classes 3 days a week, around three hours each, in person at SCO 34, Sector 33D, Chandigarh.

Will I definitely get a job?

No one honest can promise that. What Growtricity promises: you'll leave able to build and ship real software, with a portfolio an employer or client can open. That's what gets the job, or the first client.
