‘SDMIMD, Mysore Becomes the First B-School in India to Bring AI in Business Management Classroom’

SDMIMD, the premier B School in Mysore, has taken a groundbreaking step by integrating AI into the Business Management classroom. On June 3rd, we inaugurated a comprehensive AI tool for the PGDM Batch 2023-25, in collaboration with the city-based start-up Academi-AI, co-founded by Pramodh BN and partners. This initiative is coordinated by Dr. Riyaz Ahmed, faculty at SDMIMD.

Academi-AI, our customized AI software, creates classroom audio transcripts, queries, and evaluates student responses based on faculty-set parameters. This interactive software enables both faculty and students to delegate repetitive tasks to AI, allowing them to focus on qualitative work, innovation, and improvisation.

The inaugural event featured esteemed guests, including Dr. Mahesh Rao, President of TiE Mysore Chapter, Dr. Dharmaprasad, Founder & MD of Prosetta Bioinformatics and Convener of CII-Industry Institute Panel, Dr. (Lt Col) Prasad SN, Director SDMIMD, and Mr. Pramodh BN of Academi-AI. Dr. Prasad highlighted the long-term goals of this initiative, emphasizing its potential to enhance faculty quality, student learning, and outcome measurement. Dr. Mahesh Rao shared his project leadership experience with IBM, USA during the initial development stages of AI, and Dr. Dharmaprasad commended the students and faculty for embracing technology on their path to excellence.

Dr. Vasumathy HS welcomed the gathering, and Dr. Anand Sasikumar delivered the vote of thanks. The event was graced by SDMIMD students, faculty, and staff.
