An Indian startup aims to empower students through coding
Code for India is a foundation started by city-based serial entrepreneur Meraj Faheem that focuses on providing equal opportunities to deserving students.
As a result of Meraj combining his parent company “The Hacking School” with the Australian startup incubator I-College, the foundation came into existence in December 2019. The Hacking School was founded in 2013 to provide students with a platform for learning and improving their coding skills.
During an interview with Siasat.com, Meraj said, “I believe in the power of coding, and I am keen to set up a program to promote coding in India.”

While working on two other start-ups, the entrepreneur came up with the idea to initiate the program in 2011-12. Meraj studied Silicon Valley’s methods for promoting coding extensively before creating this initiative here. Having conducted extensive research, the entrepreneur organized coding boot camps in Hyderabad. The company was initially managed by me alone. Eventually, I met people willing to join the company and channel their knowledge for the greater good, he explained.
