Why Gurukul of Ramana

Rigour over recordings.Practice over slides.

01 / 04

1:1, never one-to-many.

Every learner is paired with a mentor for the whole cohort.

02 / 04

Your work is reviewed line by line — the way a senior partner reviews a junior's drafting.

Real cases, not textbooks. You learn from two or three real patent case studies per topic — what actually happens at the USPTO, EPO and IPO India, not theory.

03 / 04

Built for working professionals.

Live weekday and weekend Zoom sessions that fit around a job. Designed for engineers, attorneys, R&D managers and students alike.

04 / 04

Taught by a practitioner.

Not a full-time trainer — a working Certified Patent Valuation Analyst with 50+ granted patents. You learn the craft from someone who still does the work.

Voices from the Cohort

What ourlearners say.

“I recently completed two insightful courses: AI-Based Patentability Search and Patent Invalidity Search. Both courses were well-structured, easy to follow, and provided practical insights that helped me strengthen and refresh my patent searching skills. The sessions effectively combined fundamental concepts with modern AI-driven approaches used in patent research. I would highly recommend these courses to both freshers entering the IP field and experienced patent professionals looking to enhance their search capabilities. A big thank you to Venkataramanan Mandakolathur and Gurukul of Ramana for delivering such valuable learning opportunities.”
