FirstA 6-Month Career Residency. Built by AI Engineers. Powered by Experience.We bring real-world tech to your career journey.

Aestr Alpha is a 6-Month Career Residency.
We bridge the gap between a university
degree and Day-1 at a top tech company.
At Aestr Alpha, you don’t “attend classes”
— you operate: stand-ups, tickets, reviews,
shipping real work.
Dr. Arastu Sharma is a technology and research leader focused on solving real-world problems. Along with a founding team of engineers from Shodh AI (USA) and global tech firms, he has built Aestr Alpha as a space where students are mentored by working software developers, AI practitioners, and system architects — not disconnected faculty. His vision is simple: build future-ready talent through industry-driven learning.
Online courses are cheaper. Degrees are everywhere.
So why choose a 6-month residency?
Because Aestr Alpha is built on one principle: evidence beats claims.
Aestr Alpha is built like a modern Tech Ashram — structured, immersive, and designed for deep transformation. You check in, lock in, and spend six months building real systems with real accountability.
Work on actual use-cases inspired by real companies and teams.
Learn from practitioners working in Salesforce, UI/UX, AI, Data, and more.
Portfolio, LinkedIn, interviews, and communication — all covered as part of the journey.

9:00 AM – 12:00 PM: Concepts (“Download”)
1:00 PM – 6:00 PM: Build (“Work Simulation”)
You’ll use Slack/Discord, Jira/Trello, Git — and operate in sprints
The entire cohort collaborates on a single large build to learn how real cross-functional teams ship. Developers, data, and product workflows operate together. & mentor sessions.
Residents work with partner startups/SMEs to build real deliverables — with real feedback, documentation, and professional artifacts (LOR + live work links).
LinkedIn, Resume, Interviews, Portfolio review.
Beyond code. Built for Day-1. Two foundational modules, mandatory for every resident.
If you’re looking for shortcuts, this isn’t it. If you’re ready to build real skills, real systems, and real proof — apply for the residency.
A deployment history (not just a certificate)
Documented artifacts: demos, walkthroughs, architecture notes
A public GitHub portfolio with real projects
Delivery maturity: sprints, reviews, collaboration
(Or explore multiple, based on your clarity.)

No — it’s a career residency designed like a workplace simulation.
Not necessarily. Each track has a structured onboarding phase and mentorship.
Yes. AI is treated as a layer on strong foundations — applied where it creates real value.
Where relevant (example: ServiceNow), we support certifications — but the core value is proof-of-work and deployments.
This is a full-time residency-style commitment with office-like hours.
