“Over 50 million children between ages 5 and 12 live in urban India, yet, less than 1 in 10 start to code before they turn 15. That ratio is 3 in 10 in other countries. We help children learn to code, with unplugged and activity-based programming lessons, delivered at their doorstep by a unique scalable workforce, thereby, disrupting the $2b Indian Ed-Tech Industry,” says Ashok.
Channeling lessons learnt while trying to teach their 9-year-old to code, the founders who are busy parents, dreamt of a way to make learning programming fun for kids, without having to travel to a coaching center and cutting down on screen-time. moveForward(100) is the realization of their dream.
