About CodeYogi
CodeYogi Foundation helps students from underserved communities in India gain practical AI and tech skills in their own language using their smartphones. No laptops, no English, no teachers required. We've reached over 4 lakh students, half of them girls, with 95% learning only on their smartphones. We partner with district administrations and state governments in 9 states, 100+ districts, and 4,200+ institutions, achieving coding literacy five times the national average.
We enable low-income students to create real AI-powered applications from week one, with AI acting as their tutor, evaluator, and mentor. This ensures they acquire applied skills even without access to computers, labs, or teachers.
The Role
Our content team is ready to make videos. They just need scripts.
AI has made video creation faster from research to production to editing. But writing is still behind. A good script needs someone who can tell a story, and that's where you come in.
Mission Uljhanpur is our animated Hindi series about three students in a village who solve community problems using AI. They don't need a superhero. They solve their uljhans (problems) on their own with the help of AI.
You'll write this series - the situations, the characters, the conflicts, and the storylines across episodes. You'll also write scripts for other courses and inspiring stories about our star students.
Most of your work will start with an idea that students need to learn, and your job will be to turn it into a story that keeps them hooked. Here's the test for every script:
Would a student still want to watch this if they didn't know it was educational?
What You'll Do
Turn ideas into stories
- Take the topics, ideas, and behaviors we want students to learn, and turn them into engaging stories.
- Look for real-life examples that make abstract ideas easy to relate to. Use AI to explore different options, then present the best ones to the education team instead of asking them about everything.
- Make the concept part of the story, instead of pausing the story to explain it.
Write for the screen
- Write scripts meant to be watched, not read, focus on scenes, actions, expressions, and visuals rather than narration.
- Create characters, conflicts, humor, pacing, and payoffs that keep viewers engaged throughout an episode or series.
- Write dialogue that feels natural and conversational, not stiff or overly formal.
Keep production moving
- Deliver clear, ready-to-use scripts so the content team can start production right away.
- Use feedback from the education team to keep the concept accurate without making the story boring.
- Revise quickly if something isn't working, so the content team isn't delayed waiting for edits.
- You'll collaborate with the education team to figure out what each concept should convey and with the content team to turn your scripts into final videos. While AI can help with research and brainstorming, it's up to you to decide what makes a story great.
- Over time, you'll work more independently: understanding the goal, doing your research, creating the story, and delivering scripts that only need small tweaks instead of major rewrites.
What You'll Get
- Build stories for lakhs of students. Your work will reach young people in government schools and underserved communities across India over 4 lakh now, growing to 10 lakh who don't have much good content in their own language.
- Shape Mission Uljhanpur. You'll write every episode, helping the characters and world evolve throughout the series instead of starting fresh each time.
- Create, not just follow instructions. You'll come up with the situations, characters, humor, and storytelling styles yourself, instead of sticking to strict guidelines.
- Watch your scripts come to life. You'll collaborate with the team that turns the scripts into finished videos.
- Work in different formats. From an animated series to course scripts to real students' stories, you'll explore unique ways to tell stories and improve your craft.
- Try AI-powered storytelling. You'll get to use new tools to research, create, and experiment faster.
What We're Looking For
We care about what you've done, not where you've worked. A portfolio that shows you can do this matters much more than years of experience.
- Storytelling instinct — Can take a simple idea or situation and turn it into a compelling story. Understands that stories need more than just facts; they need curiosity, humor, conflict, characters, or surprises to keep people interested.
- Visual storytelling — Writes with visuals in mind, focusing on what the audience will see, not just what characters will say. Ideally has experience with comics, video scripts, or film/animation scripts anything where the story relied on pictures.
- Strong Hindi writing — Writes Hindi that feels natural and conversational. Dialogue sounds like something real people, especially young people, would actually say.
- Balancing education and entertainment — Knows when an explanation is too obvious, too long, or too preachy. Can make ideas clear without letting them overpower the story.
- Creative judgment — Can choose the best story idea out of many options and avoid settling for the first one that just "works."
- AI-assisted research — Knows how to use AI effectively to find examples, explore ideas, and work faster. Understands that AI outputs are starting points, not finished stories, and can spot truly good examples.
- Production discipline — Creative but respects deadlines. Open to feedback and willing to rewrite.
Nice to Have
Good to know, but not required on Day 1:
Experience making educational videos — If you've done this before, you'll adjust quickly. If not, but you can write well, we'll teach you.
How We Work at CodeYogi
At CodeYogi, we value:
Mission Alignment · Ownership · Resourcefulness · Empathy · Integrity · Communication & Collaboration · Adaptability · Excellence
These values guide how we work and interact with each other. They are not a replacement for skills but show what we expect from our team. Integrity is a must.
What We're Strict About
The content has to be accurate. A fun story that gives students the wrong idea is worse for us than a less entertaining one that's correct. Our education team reviews for accuracy, but you also need to care deeply about this for many students, your video might be their only source for learning the concept.
This Role Might Not Be for You If…
- You prefer writing blogs, informational content, or explainers and don't naturally think in stories.
- You're satisfied once the lesson is included, even if the story around it feels incomplete.
- You enjoy brainstorming more than revising and lose interest once a script enters feedback and production.
- You work best when deadlines are flexible and open-ended.
