WhiteHat Jr online classes register 400 percent growth a month

The global surge of interest in Artificial Intelligence is now sweeping across Indian kids, especially as Indian parents are now embracing how coding can help children transforming logic and creativity.

Edtech firm ‘WhiteHat Jr’ has seen this phenomenon take shape with unprecedented number of enrolments in its beta phase itself. With only a beta launch in January in India, the company’s online classes are already live and growing at 400% per month, with regard to the number of students joining such courses.

hiteHat Jr was founded six months ago by best-selling novelist and ex Discovery Networks CEO, Karan Bajaj, to pursue his dream of making a difference in global education.

Coding—sequence, structure, logic, commands and algorithmic thinking—is currently taught in less than 1% of schools globally, resulting in the major gap in the requirements of the new world and children’s skills.

Since its beta launch in January in India, the company has conducted more than 50,000 trials and currently conducts 500 online classes per day. WhiteHat Jr has over 100 teachers on their platform. The company has seen all the slots being 100% booked within 1 hour of release every day and is running a daily wait list of 150 students. Early graduates of the course have created professional-ready apps downloadable on the App Store at ages as young as 9-years-old.

Based on unprecedented demand, WhiteHat will soon launch professional course for kids in the age group 13-14 years.
