The company behind the kathas
CodeKatha is a small, independent ed-tech studio with one stubborn belief: a concept that arrives as a story never leaves. Every year, lakhs of students open a DSA course, watch three videos, memorize one solution, and quit — not because they lack intelligence, but because algorithms were handed to them as formulas instead of ideas.
So we kathify everything. A story plants the Mindseed 🌱, a quick check proves it took root, and only then do you battle the question in a live compiler that judges your test cases and your time complexity. Around that core: streaks, levels, daily challenges, spaced revision, our own vocabulary, and a sarcastic turtle who refuses to let you quit.
👥 The Team
Abhishek Singh
Founder · AI Research Lead
M.Tech, KNIT Sultanpur. Works across multiple AI research areas with peer-reviewed publications to his name. Abhishek leads CodeKatha's learning engine — the complexity analyzer, the spaced-revision system, and the research that decides how a concept should be taught before a single katha is written.
The Kathakaars
Story & Question Writers
The small crew that turns dry algorithms into librarians, tiffin boxes and monsoon flood maps — then writes the test cases that keep your code honest. Every katha is reviewed twice before it ships.
Kachua Bhaiya
Chief Motivation Officer
Slow, steady, sarcastic. Roams the website 24×7, answers doubts, guards streaks, writes shayari, and has never missed a day of work. Unpaid, and vocal about it.
🧭 What we stand by
Concept before code
If you can't retell the idea as a story, you haven't learned it. We test understanding, never memory.
Honest pricing
No ₹40,000 "placement guarantee" theatre. Plans start at ₹9, refunds are real, and a human verifies every payment.
Research-backed
Spaced repetition, retrieval practice, habit loops — the mechanics here come from learning science, applied by people who publish it.
🛣️ The journey so far
The idea — Watching brilliant friends fail interviews they deserved to crack, we asked: what if every algorithm began as a story you couldn't forget?
The build — The 4-act engine took shape: Katha → Mind-Check → Mindseed → Battle, with a live compiler and complexity judging in the browser. Then came streaks, levels, Gyaan-Loop, the Drishti trainer, and one talkative turtle.
Today — 1054+ kathified questions across 14 chapters, a growing forum of Code-Yodhas, and new stories shipping every week. The goal: 1000+ kathas, and a generation that learns DSA by heart instead of by rote.
