A 30-day, instructor-led prompt engineering programme by Mr. Vikas Swami — Dual CCIE #22239 and founder of CrawlCrawl, 24Observe, AeoNiti, Quick21 and 21Bill. You learn the exact prompt-engineering patterns used to build production AI products serving real customers across India and globally.
The Prompt Engineering Course at Networkers Home is a 30-day, instructor-led training programme designed to help engineers, working professionals and AI aspirants build production-grade prompt engineering skills.
Networkers Home has been India's trusted name in advanced technology training since 2007. With over 45,000 engineers placed across 800+ hiring partners, our placement track record now extends into AI engineering roles — one of the fastest-growing job categories in India today.
This is not a generic "ChatGPT tips and tricks" course. This is a structured 30-day path to building, evaluating and shipping production AI systems — taught by an instructor who builds them every day.

Most AI courses in India are taught by instructors who have never shipped an AI product to a paying customer. Mr. Vikas Swami currently operates five production AI and SaaS products. The prompt engineering patterns, evaluation discipline and orchestration techniques taught in this course are the same ones running inside these products right now.
Crawl, scrape and transform the web through one API. Anti-bot bypass, JavaScript rendering, structured extraction. Teaches you production crawling architecture and prompt-based extraction patterns.
An open-source observability platform that watches websites, ports, certificates and APIs. Teaches you the evaluation, monitoring and drift-detection discipline that production AI systems demand.
Tracks how a brand appears across 7 AI assistants — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overview and others. Teaches you LLM citation modelling, entity grounding and AI-search optimisation.
A chatbot that reads a business's knowledge base, replies in the visitor's language and executes actions through APIs. Teaches you RAG, function calling, multilingual prompting and agent design.
Trusted by over 20 million Indian businesses · ₹500+ crore invoiced · ISO 27001 certified · GSTN-approved. Teaches you what it takes to run AI features inside a regulated, high-trust SaaS.
Plus VPN (QuickZTNA, QuickSDWAN, MeshWG and 4 others), 6 post-quantum cryptography companies (QSecNiti, QSecNetwork), and the India Stack (MailSetu, NamahOS). See full founder profile →
Three changes in 2025-2026 have made prompt engineering one of the most valuable skills on an Indian software engineer's CV:
The catch — most online courses are still teaching what was relevant 18 months ago. ChatGPT tip-and-trick courses, generic "Intro to AI" curricula and pre-recorded Udemy videos do not prepare anyone for shipping production AI features.
What hiring managers now screen for, and what this course covers:
This 30-day course covers all seven, anchored to real product examples from Mr. Swami's portfolio.
By Day 30, every learner has built and shipped four working systems: a prompt evaluation harness, a multi-model orchestrator, a RAG application and a capstone AI product. All four are yours to keep, deploy and showcase to employers.
A small but production-shape evaluation framework you can use on any prompt — regression tests, LLM-as-judge scoring, and cost tracking. Modelled on the same discipline that powers 24Observe.
A router that calls Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini based on task type and budget. Includes fallback handling, response normalisation and cost telemetry.
A RAG pipeline over your own corpus — document chunking, embedding generation, vector storage, hybrid retrieval and re-ranking. The pattern behind Quick21's knowledge-base answering.
Your capstone project — an AI agent with function calling, state and memory, deployed to a live URL. You present this on Demo Day to recruiters from our hiring partner network.
The course fee is ₹12,000 + GST = ₹14,160 all-inclusive. We are aware this is higher than ₹2,999 self-paced courses and well below ₹40,000+ IIT-affiliated certificates. The pricing is deliberate.
Three reasons the fee is what it is:
| Feature | Coursera Plus | Internshala | Great Learning Free | Networkers Home |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Instructor | University faculty | Course producers | Rotating instructors | Vikas Swami, founder of 5 AI products |
| Duration | 3-6 months | 8 weeks | Self-paced | 30 days intensive |
| Fee | ~₹3,500/month | ₹2,999 | Free | ₹12,000 + GST |
| Live sessions | No | Limited | No | Daily, live, with founder |
| Cohort cap | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | 25 max |
| Founder WhatsApp access | No | No | No | Yes, throughout 30 days |
| Capstone | Quiz / assignment | Project | None | Shipped AI product |
| Placement support | No | "Assistance" | No | 800+ hiring partners |
| Built on real products | No | No | No | Yes — 5 production AI/SaaS |
Each course is the right fit for a different learner. If you want a 6-month self-paced library, Coursera works well. If you want a free certificate to add to LinkedIn, Great Learning has those. This course is for learners who want founder access, a 30-day path to shipping a working AI product, and the institutional backing of India's largest cybersecurity placement engine.
Networkers Home has placed over 45,000 engineers across 800+ hiring partners over its eighteen-year operating history — Cisco, HCL, Akamai, Barracuda, Aryaka, Movate, TCS, Wipro, Infosys and more. That recruiter network is now actively asking us for AI engineers.
What you receive as part of placement support:
We provide placement support, not a placement guarantee. Any institute that guarantees a job on day 31 of an AI course is being dishonest with you — the AI hiring market does not work that way.
What we honestly observe in practice: learners who ship a strong capstone project on Demo Day typically receive 3-5 recruiter introductions within 30 days of completion. Learners whose capstone is weak receive fewer.
The quality of your placement outcome depends on the effort you put into your capstone. We will give you the network, the mentorship and the launching pad. You ship the work.
Every cohort ends with Demo Day. On Day 28, every learner presents a working AI product they have built during the programme — deployed, live and demo-able.
Recruiters from our partner network attend Demo Day either in person at the HSR Layout campus or remotely on the live call. Some past learners have had products picked up as freelance contracts on the same day. Others have walked out with interview slots scheduled for the following week.
Demo Day is also when you formally enter the Networkers Home AI Alumni Network — a Telegram + WhatsApp community of AI engineers, founders and product builders graduated from the programme.
Scope is intentionally small — 30 days is not enough to build a full product. We coach you to ship something narrow, complete and demonstrable.
