Do you work for corporates full-time?

No, I do not. I act as a consultant for learners and audiences all around the world, timeline agnostic, for those who want to learn Generative AI, Quantum Computing, or stay up to date with the latest research.

Do you offer country-wise parity pricing for your services?

Absolutely! I offer 25% off for Tier 2 countries and 50% off for Tier 3 countries according to the UN country-wise income classification. Contact me on LinkedIn for further price reductions; I understand that developing nations face severe financial constraints.

Is there a discount for startups?

Yes. In addition to the parity pricing, I offer 50% off to startups who have not yet received funding, and on a case-by-case basis, I am open to payments in equity as well, but in that case, the 50% off rule does not apply.

Are you open to long-term contracts?

Yes. For continued consulting, I am willing to work for companies for six months or even more, depending upon the payment and the mutual benefit to both parties. I still wish to remain a consultant only, however.

Are you open to development work?

Right now, no. I am open to consulting, training, mentoring, and creating high-ticket content, but no development work - only high-ticket writing work.

Are you open to remote training?

Yes, remote training in Generative AI or Quantum Computing is one of my services. Furthermore, I am happy to reduce my current prices for clients in developing countries.

You have another profile site at thomascherickal.github.io. Why two sites?

Actually, thomascherickal.com is the canonical site for my links and my new articles. The thomascherickal.github.io is my business profile, with prices, services lists, and contact details. The two sites serve two different purposes.
