Coding Ninjas

What Coding Ninjas does

Coding Ninjas, operating through its legal entity Sunrise Mentors Private Limited, is an India-focused AI-first tech upskilling platform headquartered in Gurgaon. Founded in 2015, the company delivers intensive 6-9 month online bootcamps in Software Development, Data Analytics, and Data Science, alongside professional certifications co-branded with four Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT Madras Pravartak, IIT Guwahati E&ICT, IIT Mandi iHub, IIT Patna Vishlesan i-Hub) and certification partnerships with IBM and Microsoft. The platform integrates GenAI tools — Google Gemini, ChatGPT, LangChain, CrewAI, FastAPI, LLMs — across its curriculum, and supports learners with an AI-powered code editor, AI interview prep tools, and a 24/7 AI doubt-resolution system called Ninja AI augmented by over 1,000 human teaching assistants. The 10X Club community (150,000+ alumni) runs weekly CXO talks, workshops, and hackathons.

The business model is primarily direct-to-consumer tuition, with program fees ranging from ₹19,999 (short certifications) to ₹160,000 (premium IIT Madras/IIT Guwahati programs), payable upfront or through monthly EMI plans starting as low as ₹5,911. A secondary revenue stream is placement services offered zero-cost to hiring companies, monetized through the conversion of graduates into employment outcomes rather than direct employer fees. The company claims 95% placement rates, 128% average salary hikes, and 1,200+ hiring partners including 103 Indian unicorns. Distribution relies on a self-serve website with an AI course-finder tool, the Code360 placement platform integrated with Naukri.com, and community-led growth via campus student chapters at IITs/IIMs.

Coding Ninjas has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of InfoEdge (NSE: INFOEDGE, parent of Naukri.com) since 2024, following cumulative disclosed funding of $22.2 million from InfoEdge across rounds in 2020 ($5.21M) and 2022 ($17M). The company operates with 251-500 employees, is NSDC-approved, and has a stated reach of 150,000+ alumni from 4,400+ colleges, with no disclosed revenue figures. Strategic direction centers on GenAI curriculum expansion, non-technical professional upskilling, and tighter integration with the Naukri hiring ecosystem.
