UpLinkAI is a CareerTech & Workforce Development platform helping students move from learning to earning — through real internships, projects, mentorship, and industry exposure.
UpLinkAI is a founder-operated CareerTech & Workforce Development platform — not a registered company, but a working product with real students, real partners, and real outcomes. We exist to close the gap between classroom learning and the skills employers actually look for.
We run cohort-based skilling programs, hackathons, internship placements, and a digital skills curriculum for school and college students — every program backed by a real person on the other end, not an automated workflow.
To give every student — regardless of college tier or city — structured access to internships, mentorship, and real-world projects, so that learning translates directly into earning.
A future where career-readiness is not a privilege of a few campuses, but a standard built into every student's journey — practical, verifiable, and student-first by design.
A real, ongoing build — every milestone here is one we can stand behind.
Founder experiences firsthand how hard it is for students outside top-tier institutions to access real internships and mentorship — and starts building UpLinkAI to fix that.
UpLinkAI runs its first structured cohorts and hackathons/ideathons, bringing students from IIT, NIT, VIT, BITS and other institutions onto the platform.
UpLinkAI is accepted as a participant in the NCIIPC × Startup India AI Grand Challenge, co-organised by DPIIT & FITT, IIT Delhi.
MSME registration initiated on the Government of India's Udyam Portal, alongside the build-out of internships, the Digital Skill Hub, and partner collaborations.
UpLinkAI continues to operate as a lean, founder-led team, adding new programs, partners, and verified milestones as the platform grows.
"I started UpLinkAI because I saw how difficult it was for students like me to get personalised guidance and real opportunities in the industry. We're building this in the open — backed by real, verifiable credentials, not just claims."
A small, hands-on core team — plus a growing circle of student contributors learning and earning alongside us.
Product, technology & overall direction.
Technical execution & platform development.
Outreach, partnerships & community growth.
Platform infrastructure & tooling.
Cohort & community coordination.
Design contributor, VIT.
Beyond the core team, UpLinkAI runs on the energy of student interns and contributors working with us under the Learn → Build → Earn model — gaining real project experience while helping build the platform itself.
We'd rather under-claim than over-claim. Pick a tab to see the accurate, current status of each credential.

UpLinkAI works with organisations including SecureWires (cybersecurity, active strategic collaboration), KokoLab, iDigitalpreneur, VegAI, Adroit Computer Center, and participation in Google Skill India initiatives. These range from formal partnerships to informal, working-level collaborations on specific programs and events — none of these are currently backed by a signed MoU unless stated otherwise, and we describe each relationship at the level of formality it actually has, not more.
