## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: Do I need a technical or AI background to attend PilaniLabs?**
A: No technical background is required. PilaniLabs programs are designed exclusively for business leaders, not data scientists or engineers. Every concept is taught through a strategic and commercial lens.

**Q: How is PilaniLabs different from reading articles or watching YouTube?**
A: Articles and videos give you information. PilaniLabs gives you a structured framework, peer accountability, and three concrete deliverables — an AI Strategy Canvas, a 90-Day Roadmap, and a prioritised use-case list.

**Q: Can a leadership team attend together?**
A: Yes — and it is actively encouraged. Enterprise and group formats are available for teams of 5 or more, with the curriculum fully customised to the organisation's industry and AI maturity.

**Q: Is the program available virtually or only in-person?**
A: Both formats are available. The Virtual Intensive is live online with breakout rooms and collaborative exercises. The In-Person Intensive is held in major Indian cities. Enterprise On-Site programs can be delivered anywhere in the world.

**Q: How do I justify the investment to my board?**
A: Participants leave with a board-ready AI strategy document and a prioritised list of AI use cases — tools that directly support budget requests and vendor evaluations. McKinsey Global Institute estimates that AI-strategy-led organisations grow revenue 2.5x faster than peers.
