About Talentistry

We train people for tech jobs, and place them

Learners get a structured program, a coach and a job search service. Employers get job-ready candidates. Teams get practical AI training.

Our story

Why Talentistry exists

Talentistry is led by its co-founder and lead instructor, Ali Ahmed Awan, a product manager who started his own career as a business analyst in Lahore. Over 10+ years of hiring and building teams he kept seeing the same gap from both sides: capable people who could not get a first job in tech, and teams that could not find people ready to work from day one.

So we teach the way work is done. Our instructors are working engineers, QA leads and product people, classes are small and live, and every program ends with a project you can show an employer. We also train teams in AI, from the boardroom to the engineering floor.

We are based in Lahore, at Bridge coworking in Johar Town. Classes are live online, so learners join from anywhere in Pakistan. AI training runs at your office or remotely.
