Summary

AptCoder is an online coding school for children. Mentors from IIT and industry teach live 1:1, 1:2 and pair-programming classes in four course levels, from simple sequencing in Grade 1 to AI, machine learning, databases and APIs in Grade 12. Its goal is simple: no child should miss out on coding, the new literacy.

Ailoitte designed and built the platform that runs the school: the course website, the free trial and booking flows, the student and parent portal, the tools mentors and admins use to run batches, and a virtual assistant that answers parents around the clock. The result is one web platform where a parent can find a course, book a free class, pay and then follow the child’s progress.

About AptCoder

AptCoder is run by SNN Eduworld Private Limited from the IIM Lucknow incubator in Noida. It was founded in 2020 by Gaurav Agrawal, an IIT Bombay alumnus and former edtech professional, with advisers from IIT Bombay, IISc and school leadership (source: Inc42).

The school sells to two kinds of customer. Parents buy courses for one child, with a free trial class first. Schools and training institutes buy a programme for many students, delivered online, offline or through a train-the-trainer model. Children who finish a course stay in a Kids Coding Community that is free for life.

Ailoitte has built education products before, including the children’s learning portal SupDup, the Sanskrit learning app Sanskritly and the school ERP Twinbotz. Read more about our e-learning app development work.

Why an Online Coding School Needs More Than a Website

A coding school sells to parents, teaches children and is run by mentors. Each of them needs something different from the same platform, and a live class only works if all three show up at the same time.

Three Users, One Platform

Parents buy and track, children learn, mentors teach. Each needed its own view without three separate products.

Live Classes Need Tight Scheduling

1:1, 1:2 and pair-programming batches across time zones had to be booked, rescheduled and attended without manual follow-up.

Four Levels, Two Business Models

Courses for Grades 1 to 12 had to sit next to a B2B offer for schools, with different enquiry and pricing flows.

Parents Decide, So Trust Matters

A parent books a trial for a young child. The site had to answer questions fast, show real progress and keep children's data private.

The Solution: One Education Platform from First Visit to Graduation

We built the platform around the journey a family takes: discover a course, try a free class, enrol, learn live and follow progress. Like most education software development, the hard part was not the pages but the flows that run every day without staff stepping in.

Course Website for Four Age Groups

Separate pages for Spoon (Grades 1 to 3), Kiddo (4 to 5), Buddy (6 to 8) and Pro (9 to 12), each with its own curriculum, outcomes and call to action.

  • Pages for schools, training institutes and the summer coding camp
  • Search-friendly, fast pages built on a Django back end

Free Trial Booking and Course Checkout

Parents book a free class with a coupon, choose the child's grade and buy a course in a few steps.

  • Grade-based course selection
  • Book-a-call flow for parents who want to talk first
  • Enquiry flow for schools and B2B plans

Student and Parent Portal

Children join live sessions and see their projects; parents see progress, creations and the class schedule in one place.

  • Class schedule with flexible slots
  • Progress and project view for parents
  • Kids Coding Community access after the course

Mentor and Admin Tools

Admins set up 1:1, 1:2 and pair-programming batches and match them with mentors, so classes run without spreadsheets.

  • Batch and mentor allocation
  • Train-the-trainer programmes for schools
  • Reports on enrolments and attendance

Learn by Doing Projects

Small interactive projects, such as a hand-washing choice game, a weather app and a timer, show children what code can build.

Why Coding Schools Need Platforms That Scale

Schools in India and the US are adding coding and AI from the early grades, while most children still get little of it in class. That is the demand an online coding school serves.

FAQ

Questions About AptCoder and EdTech Software Development

What is AptCoder?

AptCoder is an online coding school for children from Grade 1 to 12, run from the IIM Lucknow incubator in Noida. Mentors teach live 1:1, 1:2 and pair-programming classes across four course levels, and the school also runs programmes for schools and training institutes.

What did Ailoitte build for AptCoder?

Ailoitte built the web platform that runs the school: the course website, free trial booking and checkout, the student and parent portal, mentor and admin tools and a 24×7 virtual assistant. It runs on a Django back end with Google Dialogflow for the assistant and Google Analytics and Hotjar for insight.

What does edtech software development include?

Edtech software development, also called education software development, covers the website, enrolment and payments, the learning portal, class scheduling and the admin tools that run a school online. Many platforms also need live class links, progress reports for parents, content management and analytics, and later AI features such as tutoring or chatbots.

How much does it cost to build an online learning platform?

The cost depends on the users, the features and the integrations, and Ailoitte fixes the price before work starts. The first 30-minute call with a senior engineer is free, and the AI cost calculator gives an indicative range in two minutes.

How long does it take to build an edtech platform?

A focused first version with a course website, booking and a basic portal can launch in 8 to 12 weeks. Live class tools, parent dashboards, B2B school features and AI add time depending on scope. Ailoitte fixes the launch date after a short discovery workshop.

Can one platform serve parents and schools?

Yes. AptCoder sells courses to parents and programmes to schools on the same platform. Courses, mentors and batches are shared, while the enquiry, pricing and delivery flows change with the customer.

How do you keep children's data safe on a learning platform?

Collect only what each feature needs, put parents in control of the account and limit who can see a child’s data. Ailoitte works to ISO 27001 and ISO 9001; read more about our security and compliance practice.

Can Ailoitte add AI to an existing edtech platform?

Yes. Common additions are an AI chatbot for parents, AI tutoring and practice for students, and analytics that flag who is falling behind. AptCoder already uses a Dialogflow assistant, and the same team builds AI development projects for education.

On paper, Banksathi had everything it took to make a profitable application. However, on the execution front, there were multiple loopholes - glitches in apps, modules not working, slow payment disbursement process, etc. Now to make the application as useful as it was on paper in a real world scenario, we had to take every user journey apart and identify the areas of concerns on a technical end.
