About Surya

Practical guidance from a trainer who has worked inside transformations

Surya R Gandi is the Founder of AgileSeekers and an Enterprise Agile Transformation Coach with 20+ years of experience across Agile delivery, consulting, training, and organizational change.

He is a Kanban University Accredited Kanban Trainer authorized to deliver certified Kanban learning and an ICAgile-authorized instructor for ICP-ACC Agile Coaching training.

Role-based examples from real delivery environmentsClear explanation of framework concepts and exam expectationsTraining style focused on application, not memorization
Learners leave with a clearer way to use Agile practices in their current role, not only a checklist for certification.
Background

Delivery, transformation, and coaching experience behind the classroom

Surya has worked across Agile delivery, enterprise transformation, management consulting, and training for more than 20 years. His work includes helping organizations move from waterfall delivery to Agile ways of working, coaching role owners, and supporting large-scale change through SAFe, Scrum, Kanban, and LeSS practices.

His sessions bring delivery context into the classroom: backlog conversations, dependency handling, PI Planning readiness, leadership alignment, flow metrics, and coaching conversations that teams can use after the training.

Training in action

These classroom images show Surya delivering SAFe concepts in a corporate training setting, with interactive discussions, practical examples, and learner participation throughout the session.

What the session feels like

Practical, interactive, and grounded in workplace examples

Surya uses room discussion, visual facilitation, and delivery scenarios so learners can relate SAFe concepts to their own teams, ARTs, products, and transformation challenges.
