Gorakh Kharat

Director Codefirst Academy

As a Co-founder of CodeFirst Academy, my journey into the world of technology and education has been an exhilarating one. Born out of a passion for both coding and empowering others, CodeFirst Academy aims to democratize access to coding education and bridge the gap between aspiration and opportunity in the tech industry.

Driven by a desire to change this narrative, I, along with my fellow co-founders, embarked on a mission to make coding education more inclusive and accessible. We envisioned a platform where individuals from all backgrounds could learn and thrive, regardless of their prior experience or resources.

At CodeFirst Academy, we prioritize not only teaching technical skills but also fostering a supportive and collaborative learning environment. Through our comprehensive curriculum, personalized mentorship, and hands-on projects, we empower our students to become proficient coders and confident problem solvers.

One of the most rewarding aspects of being a co-founder of CodeFirst Academy is witnessing the transformation of our students. Seeing them overcome challenges, unlock their potential, and embark on successful careers in the tech industry reaffirms our belief in the power of education to change lives.

As we continue to grow and evolve, our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion remains unwavering. We strive to break down barriers, challenge stereotypes, and create a more equitable tech landscape where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

In essence, my role as a co-founder of CodeFirst Academy is not just about building a successful business; it's about creating a movement that empowers individuals to shape their futures and make a positive impact on the world through technology. And in that journey, I find both purpose and fulfillment.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."
