AI consulting for HR and hands-on AI & automation training for businesses and colleges. Learn by doing — the way of AI. India-first, globally relevant.
We don't hand you slides and leave. kenai turns HR teams, corporates, leaders and students into people who can actually do AI — workflows, automation, judgment. Real outcomes, hands on keyboard.
From a single high-energy workshop to a full org rollout. Every format is hands-on and outcome-led.
ken means “to know.” The way of AI isn't watching — it's practising until the tool becomes second nature. Here's the discipline.
We cut through the hype and show your team where AI creates real leverage in their specific role — not generic demos.
Everyone builds. Real prompts, real automations, real workflows from your world. Learning sticks because you made it work yourself.
We layer judgment, governance and habits so AI becomes a default working tool — and your team keeps levelling up after we leave.
Practical resources you can use today. Prompts, playbooks, templates and courses — all from live consulting and training work.

Practical take on AI — no hype, no doomism. Just patterns from the field, frameworks that work, and things I noticed that you probably haven't read elsewhere.
kenai is led by Sam (Shishir Babu) — an AI trainer and L&D consultant who has spent years at the intersection of people and technology. He doesn't teach AI from a deck; he builds with it daily and teaches what actually works.
The mission is simple: make AI a skill your team owns, not a subscription they fear. Practical, India-first, and globally relevant.
Our HR team went from "AI-curious" to shipping real automations in a single bootcamp. Sam makes it click.
Best AI session our students have had — hands-on, relevant, and zero corporate fluff. They built things they're proud of.
Finally an AI trainer who actually does the work. The advisory roadmap alone paid for itself.
