Arjita Sethi.

Background

Twenty years of building. A decade of teaching.

I built three companies without writing a single line of code. Not because I'm brilliant — because I figured out how to use AI as my technical co-founder, Ayurveda as my operating system, and a compressed schedule as my unfair advantage.

I built my first AI product in 2017 — four years before ChatGPT existed. Equally was an AI-powered learning platform for kids, a $15M XPRIZE semi-finalist backed by Google and Elon Musk. Twenty years later, that work shapes every decision in Build with AI University.

I'm an entrepreneurship professor at San Francisco State University (9 years). Advisory boards: Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center, Harvard Business Review. M.S. Social Entrepreneurship. Certified Ayurvedic health teacher.

I run three brands: Build with AI University, Shaanti (AI-powered Ayurvedic wellness), and New Founder School (nine-figure accelerator). Every framework in Build with AI University was tested in my own businesses first.

What Arjita teaches

From the university every week.

• Live sessions every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday — not recorded lectures, working sessions
• Ask-Arjita-Anything thread inside the fellow community
• Weekly newsletter from Arjita — a specific thing she's thinking about or applying
• Path design — all four learning paths were designed and are maintained by Arjita

"Being part of Build with AI since April has been an amazing experience. Arjita is incredibly knowledgeable and has helped me — a non-technical founder — understand how to learn different AI platforms, tune them to my needs, and make real decisions with them. She is a true mentor." — Nikkita Seth, Founder
