About Us:

At Futurense, we realized that with the rapid growth of AI and its widespread adoption, many engineers would become casualties of this advancement. Therefore, we worked backward to identify specific problems faced by Indian engineers and developed solutions accordingly.

We are currently focusing on four key problems at Futurense :

Zero Cost Upskilling - Many deserving individuals lacked the resources to upskill and couldn't afford to forgo their salaries to focus on self-improvement. We have pioneered an industry-defining model that upskills people for free while providing them with salaries. This model is financially structured through partnerships with Fortune 500 companies, where we act as their talent partner in specialized areas.

Access to US Masters - Attaining a master's degree from top US universities was often financially out of reach for. most people. To address this issue, we established India's first pathway program between top US universities and IITs/IIMs, reducing the total cost by more than 50% and enabling completion of the degree in just 12 months.

Second Chance at IIT Dream - With an extremely low selection rate of 0.6%, the IIT brand holds a special place in the hearts of many tech enthusiasts. We believe that individuals should be given a second chance to become an IITian. To achieve this, we collaborated with multiple IITs to launch their first academic degree programs focused on AI, facilitated by MAANG experts.

Job-Focused BTech Degrees - We firmly believe that to bring about meaningful change at scale, BTech education needs to be reshaped. We have partnered with specific universities, taking control of their entire BTech education through meticulously designed four-year programs that go beyond textbooks. Our programs prioritize practical, industry-driven skills, ensuring that graduates are not just degree-holders but job-ready professionals.
