With AI Odyssey, Microsoft is fostering opportunities for developers to craft solutions for India's progress and highlight their abilities in tackling real-world issues.
The program, open to all AI enthusiasts in India regardless of experience or background, comprises two levels that participants must complete by January 31, 2024.
The first level focuses on educating participants about leveraging Azure AI services to develop and deploy AI solutions across various scenarios. This level provides access to valuable resources, code samples, and guides, facilitating the mastery of practical AI skills.
The second level challenges participants to validate their AI expertise through an online assessment featuring interactive lab tasks. Successful completion earns them Microsoft Applied Skills credentials, a verifiable proof of their capability to address real-world problems using AI.
Participants completing both levels also have the opportunity to win a VIP Pass to the Microsoft AI Tour in Bangalore on February 8, 2024. This event showcases the transformative impact of generative AI on creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving, featuring keynote sessions, demos, and workshops where developers can learn from Microsoft experts, partners, and network with peers.
Irina Ghose, managing director at Microsoft India, emphasised, “AI is the future of innovation and India is leading the way with its tech talent. The Microsoft Applied Skills credential will help developers demonstrate their competence and creativity in the most in-demand AI skills and scenarios. We welcome all developers to join us in creating meaningful AI solutions that will contribute to India’s economy.”
