Entrepreneurs set to launch Code Ninjas franchise in South West London

An entrepreneurial duo in London are set to boost the technology skills of local children with the launch of their own coding franchise.

Friends and business partners Ranjit Gopi and Chetan Kamatlater are preparing to launch a Code Ninjas franchise in South West London this year.

Code Ninjas was set up to teach children technology skills such as how to code, and has franchises across the US, Canada and Europe.

Ranjit Gopi commented: ““We were instantly drawn to the Code Ninjas franchise model because we felt as though there was nothing quite like it here in the UK.

“We were so intrigued that we both travelled out to California to visit two centres. That trip was a real eye-opener.

“As you can imagine, with so many technology specialists based in Silicon Valley and the surrounding areas, the market is very competitive. In spite of this, both centres were performing very well and attracting kids from families with or without a technology background.

That, combined with the impressive support on offer from the Code Ninjas team, confirmed our thoughts that a Code Ninjas franchise was the perfect fit for us.“

Chetan Kamatlater added: “Code Ninjas helps kids have fun and learn new coding skills, offering an exciting learning destination right here in our community.

“We’re both looking forward to providing a change for our families and others too. We’re confident that our lifelong friendship and passion for digital technology will stand us in good stead as we launch our first centre.”
