My Journey in Learning, Leadership, and AI
I’m an entrepreneur and investor on a lifelong mission: to educate and certify one billion people worldwide. What began as a passion for helping people grow has evolved into a global AI-readiness ecosystem serving millions.
As Founder, Chairman & CEO of Sarder Inc., I lead ventures spanning AI CERTs®, NetCom Learning® and N+®, AI LABs 365®, Adoptify AI®, and Sarder TV® Together. These ventures empower individuals and organizations to thrive in an AI-driven world.
Along the way, I’ve authored books on lifelong learning, interviewed 500+ global leaders through Sarder TV, mentored MBA students at Columbia University, and made early investments in transformational companies including Microsoft, Tesla, and Amazon. Through the Sarder Foundation, I also extend learning access to underserved communities worldwide.
Everything I do is guided by one goal: make high-quality learning and AI readiness accessible at scale, so we can build a truly AI-ready, future-ready world.
What Drives Me
The beliefs and principles that guide every venture I build - from learning to AI to digital transformation.
Learning Changes Everything
I believe personal and organizational growth starts with empowering people to learn.
AI Should Lift Everyone
Technology must expand access, opportunity, and capability - not replace potential.
Impact Over Recognition
My measure of success is the lives improved, not the titles earned.
Build for Scale
Create solutions that reach millions, not dozens - globally, affordably, sustainably.
Lead With Integrity
Always choose transparency, accountability, and long-term value creation.
Stay Curious Always
Lifelong learning isn’t a philosophy - it’s a daily discipline I practice.
