From Humble Beginnings to Generative AI Expert


Today, Hitesh Motwani is a celebrated Generative AI and ChatGPT Trainer, a sought-after faculty member at nine IIMs across India, and a trusted advisor to some of the world’s largest companies. Yet, his remarkable journey from modest beginnings to the forefront of technology and education is a powerful testament to perseverance, self-belief, and a passion for lifelong learning.


A Story Rooted in Humility and Grit


Hitesh’s early life was marked not by privilege, but by determination and aspiration. Coming from a humble background, he faced financial constraints from the very start—so much so that when it came time to pursue his MBA, he struggled to fund his own education. Yet, driven by a desire to create a better future, Hitesh refused to be defined by his circumstances. He worked tirelessly to support himself, determined to seize every opportunity education could offer.


From Sales to Strategy: Finding His True Calling


Hitesh began his career in the finance industry, starting off in sales and quickly moving into customer service and operations roles. It was during these formative years that he honed his understanding of the business world, learning the value of hard work, adaptability, and authentic connection. But Hitesh’s curiosity was insatiable—he found himself drawn to the world of marketing, where strategy and creativity intersect.


He went on to work with leading firms like Genesis Burson-Marsteller, Rediffusion Y&R, and the iconic Ogilvy. Here, Hitesh played a pivotal role in launching some of the most recognizable brands in the country, including Twitter, Bandhan Bank, Future Generali Life Insurance, and Cricket World Cup T20. With each new challenge, he built a reputation for innovative thinking and an unwavering commitment to results.


Reinventing Himself in the Age of Technology


While marketing gave him a strong platform, Hitesh’s hunger for growth led him to explore the world of technology. At a time when most would settle into their careers, he took a bold leap—teaching himself machine learning, generative AI, and the intricacies of large language models. The transition was not easy; it required resilience, late nights of self-study, and the courage to venture into uncharted territory.


But Hitesh’s risk paid off. His unique blend of business acumen, communication skills, and technological expertise soon set him apart. Today, he stands at the intersection of technology and transformation, empowering organizations such as Reliance, Adani, Siemens, HP, and HDFC Bank to harness the power of Generative AI.


Empowering the Future, Inspiring a Generation


In just the past few years, Hitesh has conducted over 300 Generative AI trainings, becoming recognized as one of the best trainers in India and beyond. His ability to demystify advanced technology, inspire professionals, and catalyze real business impact has made him a mentor and guide to thousands.


As a teacher at nine IIMs and a global speaker, Hitesh’s story inspires those who dare to dream big—no matter their beginnings. He believes deeply in the power of self-learning and resilience, and his own journey proves that with courage, hard work, and an open mind, no obstacle is insurmountable.


The Journey Continues

His story reminds us all that success is not defined by where we start, but by the belief and determination we bring to every step of the journey.
