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

"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."

Their events and networking forums have connected us with high-potential startups, ecosystem leaders, and innovation-driven professionals — many of whom have become valuable partners, collaborators, and even clients. What stands out most is the openness and accessibility of the community — whether you're an early-stage founder or an experienced entrepreneur, eChai provides a welcoming space to learn, collaborate, and grow. It's more than just a network — it's a catalyst for real, collaborative growth. We’re proud to be part of the eChai community. Highly recommended for any organization aiming to grow within the startup space."

"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."
