Shourov Barua is a hands-on AI Automation expert and educator, currently serving as the Cofounder & COO at Ostad. He works at the intersection of AI systems, agent-based workflows, and real-world business automation, with a strong focus on building production-ready solutions not just demos.

He has designed, built, and scaled multiple AI agents and platforms, including:

Mocku – an AI-powered interview preparation platform

Piku – an intelligent AI tutor for guided learning

Ostad AI Assessment System – automated evaluation and skill-assessment infrastructure

Beyond product building, Shourov has consulted with multiple businesses to help them adopt AI automation streamlining operations, reducing manual workload, and deploying AI agents that actually solve business problems.

As a teacher, his approach is practical, system-driven, and execution-focused. Instead of teaching AI as theory, he emphasizes:

How AI agents work in real production environments

How to connect LLMs, prompts, tools, APIs, and workflows

How to design automation that scales across teams and products

Shourov believes the future belongs to those who can design intelligent systems, not just write prompts and his teaching reflects that philosophy.
