India has one of the largest youth populations in the world, yet digital accessibility remains a challenge—only 54% of households have computers, and nearly 40% lack access to one. However, with 88% of the population using smartphones, mobile technology presents an opportunity to bridge this gap. In this episode, The Rise of Gen Z Girls in Tech , we sit down with Mayank , the visionary behind Coding Pro , to explore how AI-driven learning and innovative mobile applications are ensuring equal access to coding education for students, regardless of their background. We discuss the impact of social norms on STEM careers , the challenges of parental hesitation and cultural expectations , and how AI-powered tools are helping families embrace digital education. Mayank shares how Coding Pro’s scholarships and mentorship programs are supporting underprivileged girls, fostering a future where young women take the lead in tech. We also explore Iraaj, India’s first humanoid robot , and its role in equipping students with real-world skills, as well as the emergence of AI-powered universities and Techno Schools that will redefine learning over the next decade. This conversation is about breaking barriers, reshaping education, and preparing India’s youth—especially Gen Z girls—for the digital revolution .
