Meet Supriya Bhuwalka, the dynamic founder of Coding and More, an all-women-run company dedicated to AI education. Supriya’s journey began with a simple desire: to find a suitable coding class for her daughter. Unable to find the right curriculum or teachers in her community, she decided to take matters into her own hand and teach her daughter. This decision laid the foundation for Coding and More, a company now specialising in AI education for children and non-tech adults, with a strong mission to bring more women into the field of AI.
Supriya’s epiphany about the importance of representation in AI came when she realised that the technology around us - from facial recognition to personalised content on platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime - is often biased due to the lack of female representation. Determined to change this, she decided that her company would not only educate children, but also empower women by hiring them as mentors and role models.
Coding and More aligns its mission with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, focusing on quality education and gender equality. The business flourished during the 2020 lockdown, transitioning to a virtual model that allowed Supriya to upskill women for free and provide them with a flexible platform to work on their own terms. The company has grown organically, relying on word-of-mouth rather than marketing, and has expanded its reach beyond India, engaging with schools to create AI-literate environments.
