Live workshops for working professionals.

No watered-down "AI for everyone" content. Each workshop is built around the specific deliverables and tools of one profession.

Why us

Why Weekend Mentor?

Most AI courses are made by content creators. This one's made by a builder. Here's what that means.

Live, not recorded.

Real cohorts on Zoom. Ask "what about my specific case?" and get a real answer the same minute.

Article + recording within 24h.

After every workshop you get a written guide of what we covered, plus the full recording. Yours for 1 year.

Built for your job, not the future.

No "AI will change everything" lectures. Workflows you'll use Monday morning, mapped to your actual deliverables.

By a builder, not a content creator.

Workflows shipped at Google, JPMorgan, a YC startup, and a Microsoft-acquired AI company. Not theory from a podcast.

Profession-specific, not generic.

A CA, a marketer, and an engineer don't need the same AI tutorial. We made five separate workshops because we believe that.

Refundable. 7 days.

Attend the workshop live. If it wasn't worth ₹249, we refund — no questions asked.

Audience

Who is Weekend Mentor for?

Six kinds of professionals we built these workshops for.

Chartered Accountants

Articled assistants and practising CAs who still build MIS in Excel at 11 PM.

Finance Professionals

CFOs, FP&A leads, controllers, and analysts running recurring deliverables.

Marketers

Performance marketers, content leads, brand managers, and freelance marketers with clients.

Working Professionals

Analysts, PMs, ops leads, consultants — anyone producing reports, emails, decks, and status updates.

Software Engineers

Mid-to-senior engineers who want to close the gap on juniors shipping with AI.

Career switchers

People in roles AI is reshaping fast — and who want to stay ahead, not behind.

Meet the founder
Charan — Founder, Weekend Mentor

I've shipped AI at companies you've heard of. Now I teach.

I'm Charan. Over 4+ years I've shipped production AI and backend systems at Google, JPMorgan (17x improvement on credit-decisioning APIs), a YC W23 fintech, and an AI startup that was acquired by Microsoft.

Today I build AI-native, multi-architecture companies for different professionals — and have onboarded 13,000+ brands on an analytical platform, growing them to 200x of their existing revenues. I'm also the founder of ElevateBox, where we've trained 21,000+ students across 50+ premier institutions — with an 85% completion rate vs the 15% industry average.

Weekend Mentor exists because most AI courses teach you to chat with ChatGPT. The gap between that and actually deploying AI in your work has become career-defining. These workshops close that gap, one profession at a time.

FAQ

The honest questions.

Yes. Each workshop runs as two live sessions on Zoom — a Thursday intro and a Saturday main workshop. You attend either one (not both) at the same ₹249 fee. Most people attend Saturday; Thursday is for those who want a sneak peek.
Thursday is the intro masterclass — 60 minutes of overview, demos, and Q&A. Saturday is the full hands-on workshop — 90 minutes building real workflows on your laptop. They are not the same content. Pick whichever fits your schedule.
Yes — within 24 hours of the Saturday session, you get a written article summarising what we covered, plus the full recording. Yours for 1 year.
Yes. Attend the workshop live. If it wasn't worth ₹249, email within 7 days for a full refund — no questions asked.
No. We assume zero prior experience. If you can use Excel and email, you're set. The first 10 minutes cover the basics.
Yes — a Weekend Mentor Certificate of Completion, sent within 48 hours. Recognition of attendance, not a regulatory credential.
Absolutely. Some people in finance also lead marketing for their firm. No limit on how many you can take.
Yes, and we'll be straight about it. The last 10 minutes of the main workshop introduce our 4-week deeper program (₹1,499). Zero pressure. The 90-minute workshop stands on its own.
