The higher education landscape in India is going through a fundamental change with the introduction of the new undergraduate program in AI and Business by the Scaler School of Technology. This is a four-year full-time residential program intended to prepare students for careers at the intersection of AI, product development and entrepreneurship. The program combines technical and management education in a single curriculum and the establishment of businesses is included in the core requirements of the program.

The vision underpinning the program, articulated by Anshuman Singh (former engineering manager at Facebook Messenger), states that "the world has changed dramatically in the last decade, as AI tools have significantly improved the speed at which products can be developed, and the nature of innovation is very different from what we saw before the advent of AI technologies". Singh also remarks "Today's creators aren't just capable of using tools, they also need to have an understanding of system design, problem definition/selection and sustainable business practices". Therefore, the program is focused on providing students with an experiential learning opportunity where they will build, test and improve real-world products on a consistent basis throughout their studies.

The educational program features a stepwise-based learning framework. The first year involves developing the foundations of the computer programming disciplines, mathematics for artificial intelligence, communicative ability, and logical thought patterns through hands-on projects. The second year includes learning about production systems, artificial intelligence models, data pipeline design and implementation, and business fundamentals. In their third year, students gain experience by working with many startups through the Scaler Innovation Lab to develop product lines, evaluate growth measures, and identify operational challenges faced by new technology companies.

In the fourth and final year of the program, each student enters "Founders Mode," where they will each create and attempt to build and grow an AI-focused startup. The graduates of the program will have the opportunity to receive guidance from mentors from companies such as OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and NVIDIA. Graduates of the program will also benefit from Scaler's network of employers and connection to Amazon and Microsoft for job placement, and they will have the option to delay the start of their careers in order to pursue entrepreneurial ventures. The program has limited class sizes, strong support from the technology industry, and aims to produce future-minded and capable founders and executives who are both technically proficient and knowledgeable about running a business.
