Dhaval Kalsariya
Founder, Human Design Academy
Dhaval has spent 10 years designing products and 5 years practising Art of Living and meditation. He started Human Design Academy to bring visual design, AI and a calm mind into one way of making things. He designed this cohort himself, and he teaches it himself.
“Do what you love, and build a life that still lets you sleep well at night.”
How he teaches
- Find a real problemStart with something real people struggle with, and shape the answer in Figma before you build anything.
- Build it with AIUse agents to make it real: the app, the site, the content, even the hardware. Fast, then better.
- Take it to peopleMarket it, sell it, and learn from what real users and buyers tell you. That’s where the growth is.

Hi HDA, I want to apply for the Agentic AI Cohort ✦
Love that. What do you want to build first?
An app for my mom’s bakery!
Welcome to The Future
Let’s build.
Design. Build. Monetise.Full Course questions
No. Each track starts from the basics, and AI agents do much of the heavy lifting while you learn to direct them.
Instead of using AI as a chatbot, you set up AI agents that carry out multi-step work for you: generating designs, writing code, editing video. You stay the director.
No. The Agentic AI Cohort is sold as one course: all four phases in 3 months, then a 3-month internship with our placement partners.
The course fee is ₹69,969 + GST. That's ₹64,969 + GST paid once, or ₹23,323 + GST a month for 3 months; paying once saves ₹5,000. Ask us about scholarships, student discounts and stipends.
In person at our campus in Pal: 401, 4th Floor, Pavilion Plaza, Gaurav Path, Pal, Surat. You can also join the same classes live online, in the same batch and for the same fee. Classes run Monday to Wednesday, 5 to 7 PM; Thursday to Sunday you build, and on weekends you pitch at city events.
