About Us
Discover the story behind India's innovative programming education platform
Our Story
Founded in 2020 by a group of passionate software engineers and education specialists, CodePath School emerged from a clear vision: to bridge the gap between theoretical computer science education and practical industry requirements in India's rapidly evolving tech landscape.
What began as a series of weekend workshops in a small co-working space in Pune has grown into a comprehensive education platform that has trained over 3,500 students across multiple specializations. Our founders, Raj Sharma and Anita Desai, recognized that traditional educational institutions were struggling to keep pace with the rapidly evolving technology sector, creating a disconnect between graduate skills and employer needs.
By 2022, we had expanded to our current campus in the TechSquare Building in Hinjewadi IT Park, establishing partnerships with over 25 technology companies for internships, project collaborations, and employment pathways. Today, CodePath School stands at the forefront of programming education in India, continuously adapting our curriculum to reflect current industry practices and emerging technologies.

What Our Students Say
Real experiences from our graduates
CodePath completely transformed my career trajectory. After working in QA for 3 years, I completed their Full-Stack Development program and secured a role at Accenture with a 70% salary increase. The practical projects and industry mentorship made all the difference in my interview confidence.
As someone without a computer science background, I was worried about transitioning to tech. CodePath's Data Science & AI program provided the perfect blend of theory and application. The instructors were incredibly supportive, and the career coaching helped me prepare for technical interviews. I now work as a Data Analyst at Amazon.
I joined CodePath to update my skills after 5 years in traditional software development. Their Mobile App Development program gave me hands-on experience with React Native and helped me pivot to mobile development. The project-based approach meant I had a portfolio of real apps to show potential employers. Within weeks of graduating, I received multiple job offers.
