How did codeyoung start in 2019?
Shailendra and Rupika were studying at IIT-Delhi, they both met in the second year of their Engineering in 2015, After graduating in 2018, Rupika started working for Flipkart and Dhakad for Brisbane based startup.
Fast forward to 2019, they realized that after 14 years of schooling and 4 years in college they were practically having no skills in coding which can help to add some value.
They both predicted coding is going to be the future and since they both personally faced problems in coding, where students in the coming future could also face these problems.
This is where they started working on starting a platform for children to teach coding and started a prototype with the simple program in 2019, and that’s how codeyoung was commenced.
