What is Codechef?
Codechef is a non-profit educational initiative launched by Directi over a decade ago. Our original dream was to see an Indian team win gold at the ACM ICPC World Finals. To achieve this, Codechef built a self-driven community of the world's finest programmers. Today, over 1.3 million competitive programmers from more than 180 countries learn from Codechef. For the past 10 years, Codechef has been hosting regular programming contests every month. To date, its platform has evaluated over 92 million code submissions, and more than 30,000 organizations worldwide have been influenced by CodeCheffers. It also organizes SnackDown—one of the largest global programming competitions, with the last edition attracting participants from over 140 countries. Since 2017, Codechef has been offering India's only industry-ready certification in Data Structures and Algorithms, which has been earned by over 1,800 programmers to date.
