01 About Kishore Gundu

I build the systems, people, and programs that turn Data Science and AI from theory into careers.

I’m Kishore Gundu — Founder of IMTDA Infotech and Academic Head at Quad Education, based in Visakhapatnam. I work across two complementary worlds: engineering practice and workforce development. I bring 9+ years of freelance mechanical project experience in CATIA, ANSYS, and AutoCAD, alongside 8+ years of freelance teaching in mechanical software, programming, data science, and AI.

I have led large-scale skilling delivery — APSSDC Naipunyam across 196+ degree and engineering colleges in Andhra Pradesh, multi-vendor programs with 20+ vendors and clients, and initiatives spanning Infosys Springboard, HCL Reddington, DDU-GKY, Nasscom Foundation, and Capgemini. Every engagement is built around practical outcomes, not just completion certificates.
