The FLC aims to tackle the shortage of highly skilled AI professionals by creating a platform that connects the brightest minds to an exclusive community of top CXOs and industry experts from 40+ Fortune 500s as well as MAANG Companies.

The brand film is now live on YouTube, Instagram and LinkedIn.

It aims to give back to the society by partnering with prestigious institutions such as IITs, IIMs, and top universities in the United States, including Drexel University, Rutgers University, and the University at Buffalo, the Council seeks to develop a sustainable pipeline of AI leaders.
