Sneha Mantri: Democratizing Technology Education

Indian innovator Sneha Mantri (b. 1995) founded CodeBridge in 2020, a nonprofit providing free coding education to underserved communities. Her platform has trained over 500,000 students in 2023 alone, with 68% of graduates securing tech sector jobs within 6 months.

Inclusive Education Models

Mantri's CodeCaravan program brings mobile labs to rural villages using solar-powered servers. These units have reached 12,000+ villages since 2022, teaching AI basics to farmers and artisans. Her Tech4Girls initiative achieved a 73% female enrollment rate in traditionally male-dominated fields like robotics and cybersecurity.

Corporate Partnerships

CodeBridge's Skills Marketplace connects graduates directly with employers like Tata Consultancy Services and Google India. This program has created 35,000+ jobs since 2021, earning Mantri the 2023 UN SDG Award. Her Disability Access Initiative developed Braille coding kits used in 85% of India's special education institutions.

Global Expansion

Mantri's 2024 partnership with UNESCO established similar programs in 15 African nations. Her TEDx talk "Code the Future" has 8.7 million views. The CodeBridge School of AI launched in 2025 offers the first free university-level machine learning program available in Hindi and regional languages.
