I’m Amita Kapoor, an AI researcher, educator, and writer with a passion for bridging technology, education, and human intelligence. My journey has been anything but linear—spanning 25 years in academia, pioneering AI research, mentoring learners worldwide, and collaborating with startups and organizations to shape the future of AI-driven solutions.
From Academia to AI Innovation
For 25 years, I was a professor at the University of Delhi, where I taught Artificial Intelligence, Neural Networks, Robotics, and Embedded Systems. I mentored countless students, guided research projects, and played a key role in shaping the curriculum. During my tenure, I established a Robotics Lab, led AI-driven research, and actively encouraged women to pursue careers in STEM. As a Cisco Academy Coordinator, I organized specialized training programs, conducted workshops for government agencies, and spearheaded initiatives like “Celebrating Women in IT” to enhance female participation in technology fields.
Though I took an early retirement from academia, my love for education and innovation never faded. I transitioned into industry-driven AI research, startup collaborations, and hands-on mentorship programs, where I continue to guide professionals, students, and researchers in AI, deep learning, and cognitive science.
Building AI for Real-World Impact
Beyond academia, I’ve worked with startups like DeepSight AI Labs, FounTech, and FutureText, focusing on applied AI in domains like computer vision, finance, predictive analytics, and generative AI. I have collaborated with organizations such as BPB Publications, JATF Foundation, Knowledge Hut, Simplilearn, Udacity, and Coursera, designing AI courses, authoring technical books, and mentoring thousands of learners worldwide.
In my role as a Short-Term Expert (STM-XPT) for the International Monetary Fund (IMF), I work on digital transformation and AI-driven insights, contributing to global financial strategies.
I have been associated with Neuromatch (now ScienceMatch), a non-profit organization dedicated to facilitating global collaboration in computational sciences. Since its inception, I served as a Teaching Assistant and later as a Board Member from 2022 to 2024. Neuromatch aims to accelerate scientific innovation by fostering inclusive, collaborative, and global participation in computational sciences.
Research, Writing & AI Education
I have authored multiple books on AI, including the best-selling Deep Learning with TensorFlow and Keras. My research spans computer vision, reinforcement learning, AI ethics, and bridging the gap between science and spirituality, with several peer-reviewed publications in international journals and conferences.

I also lead NePeur, where we provide AI consultancy, focusing on making advanced AI accessible through intuitive applications. Through my Retured initiative, we run AI and cognitive science mentorship programs, helping learners transition from theory to real-world applications by leveraging the Project-Based Learning (PBL) paradigm.
Curiosity, Collaboration & Future Visions
I believe true learning happens through collaboration and curiosity. Whether it’s developing AI solutions, mentoring research-driven minds, or exploring the intersections of AI and human cognition, I thrive on pushing boundaries and making complex ideas accessible.
