For years, courses taught the tools. We taught it that way too, as Digital Maven.

Tools such as Google Ads, Python, Excel, GitHub, Meta Ads, LangChain, SQL, Docker, Canva, Power BI, Hugging Face, Semrush, Jupyter, FastAPI, Shopify, Kubernetes, Mailchimp, TypeScript, Snowflake, Figma, Postman, Search Console, Google Analytics, JavaScript, WordPress, PostgreSQL, HubSpot, PyTorch, Google Sheets, Git, Looker Studio, React, TensorFlow, Tag Manager, Node.js, Pandas, Zapier, MongoDB, n8n, Google Cloud, Redis, BigQuery, Linux, YouTube.

Then AI learned to use them.

So the job changed.

AI now does the old work in every field. This is what you learn in its place.

  • Marketing AI does this now: Running ads by hand You learn this: Planning the campaign and letting AI run it
  • AI engineering AI does this now: Writing every line of code yourself You learn this: Designing AI systems and putting them to work in a real business
  • Data analytics AI does this now: Making reports You learn this: Asking the right question and deciding what to do
  • Data science AI does this now: Training a model You learn this: Using models to solve real problems
  • Automation AI does this now: Doing the task yourself You learn this: Building the AI that does the task

So we changed what we teach. And our name.

Digital Maven is now Go Maven Academy.

What it is
An AI-first school for marketing, data analytics, data science and AI engineering

Here you learn four skills AI cannot do for you.

  1. 1Decide
  2. 2Design
  3. 3Build
  4. 4Own

  1. 1 of 4

    Decide what is worth doing.

    AI can give you a hundred ideas in a minute. You learn to pick the right one.

  2. 2 of 4

    Design how it will work.

    Before you build, you plan it: who does what, what data you need, and where AI fits.

  3. 3 of 4

    Build it, with real tools.

    You make it work yourself. Every subject ends with a project you built, not an exam.

  4. 4 of 4

    Own the result.

    You test it, measure it and fix it when it breaks. You can explain why it worked.

How we teach.

  1. 1

    AI from day one.

    You use AI from the first class. It is not a chapter added at the end.

  2. 2

    Learn by building.

    You make real projects, not just notes.

  3. 3

    Taught by people who do the job.

    They teach you, and they check your work.

  4. 4

    The course changes when the tools do.

    Right now, that is often.

Questions people ask.

About the school

What is Go Maven Academy?

Go Maven Academy, also written GoMaven Academy, is an AI-first school in Bengaluru, India, founded by Srinivas Prabhu. It teaches people to work with AI and build with it, across marketing, data analytics and data science. Every program has AI built in from day one.

Is Go Maven Academy the same as Digital Maven?

Yes. Digital Maven is now Go Maven Academy. Its home on the web is gomavenacademy.com.

Is Go Maven Academy related to Maven Academy?

No. Go Maven Academy (gomavenacademy.com), formerly Digital Maven, is an AI-first school based in Bengaluru and is not connected to other institutes named Maven Academy.

Where is Go Maven Academy?

Go Maven Academy is at 373, Chord Rd, Bovipalya, Mahalakshmipuram, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560086.

Has Go Maven Academy raised funding?

Yes. Go Maven Academy has closed its pre-seed round. The size of the round and the names of its backers are private for now under the terms of the round, and will be published when an agreed milestone is reached.

Who founded Go Maven Academy?

Go Maven Academy, formerly Digital Maven, was founded by Srinivas Prabhu, its Founder & CEO.

What you learn

What does Go Maven Academy teach?

AI, applied to real work: marketing, data analytics and data science. Learners build AI agents, automations, data pipelines and AI-powered campaigns with working practitioners.

What is an AI-first school?

A school where AI is part of every subject from the first class, not a chapter added at the end. At Go Maven Academy you learn to decide what is worth doing, design how it will work, build it with AI and own the result.

How is Go Maven Academy different from a course that teaches tools?

Courses built around tools go out of date, because AI can now use most of those tools. Go Maven Academy teaches the part that stays with you: deciding, designing, building and owning the result. The course changes when the tools do.

Will AI replace the job I am training for?

AI is taking over tasks, not whole jobs. Running ads by hand, making reports and writing routine code are tasks AI now does. The person who plans the work, directs the AI and answers for the result is still needed, and that is who you learn to be.

Do learners build real projects?

Yes. Every subject ends with a project you built yourself, such as a multi-agent automation system, a dashboard that AI agents explain, or a data pipeline with AI wired in.

Programs

Which programs does Go Maven Academy run?

The first program is in Marketing + AI and has been announced. Programs in data analytics, data science, AI and automation, and forward deployed engineering are planned, along with programs for people who do not code: business, product and design with AI.

What is a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE)?

A forward deployed engineer builds AI systems inside a real business and takes them all the way to production: understanding the problem, designing the solution, building it, testing it and keeping it running.

Does Go Maven Academy have a Forward Deployed Engineer program?

It is in development, for working professionals. It is planned to cover LLM engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), agent design and orchestration, evaluation, security, deployment and AI product thinking, and to end in a capstone built around a real problem.

Are the programs only about marketing?

No. Marketing + AI is the first program, not the whole school. Go Maven Academy teaches people to work with AI in marketing, data analytics, data science, automation and AI engineering, and plans programs in business, product and design for people who do not code.

Mentors and teaching

Who are the mentors?

Working practitioners, not career teachers. Our mentors have worked at companies such as Flipkart, Amazon, Uber and Deloitte.

How are classes taught?

By building. You use AI from the first class, make real projects instead of notes, and the people who teach you also check your work.

Be the one AI works for.

Pick a field, build real projects, and learn to run AI instead of competing with it.
