About Centizen Academy
Centizen Academy exists because Centizen already builds software for a living. Centizen is the company behind ZenBasket and ongoing client engineering work. We started this program because we kept meeting talented engineers who could use AI tools but had never been taught to build production software with real judgment, and we had the teams, the work, and the place to actually teach that.
Why Tirunelveli
We are based here, and we believe a serious engineering career should not require relocating to Bangalore first. Running the program from Tirunelveli also means real facility and living costs that let us charge a fair, transparent price instead of a premium-city rate.
What we are committing to
We have no graduate outcomes to report yet. We commit to publishing real outcomes, by name and with consent, once students complete the residency, rather than an aggregate number.
Where you will learn
The Academy runs from Centizen's own floor at ZenoVus Tech Park, Tirunelveli, the same place the engineering work happens.See ZenoVus Tech Park on Google Maps (opens in a new tab).



Taught by people who ship, not people who present
Every instructor here is an active engineer or leader at Centizen, teaching what they actually do.
