WhiteHat Jr, acquired last year by leading ed-tech firm BYJU’S for $300 million (roughly Rs 2,246 crore), introduced the live 1:1 coding category in India and in just two years, thousands of students from more than 100 countries in the world have signed up for its coding classes.

“The music classes are currently in the beta phase and the initial feedback has been incredibly positive. We plan to offer music trial classes starting May 28 on an invitation basis only, and then launch it commercially in the US and India in June after incorporating feedback from beta testing,” Bajaj said.

“The music curriculum will then be progressively extended to other international markets,” added Bajaj who is a graduate of IIM-Bangalore and earlier served as the CEO for Discovery Inc. South Asia.

The aim, he said, is to help kids with both the academic and cognitive development, within the boundaries of their homes amid the pandemic and the remote learning era.
