'''CodeChef''' is an online educational platform and competitive programming community of global programmers. CodeChef started as an educational initiative in 2009 by [[Directi]], an Indian software company. In 2020, it became owned by Unacademy.
After failing to reach profitability, Unacademy said it would retain a 30% stake in CodeChef while returning the remaining equity to the company’s founding team to grow further and decided to hive it off. <ref>{{Cite web |last=Shah |first=Sneha |date=2023-03-31 |title=After hiving off CodeChef, Unacademy cuts 12% staff |url=https://www.livemint.com/companies/news/after-hiving-off-codechef-unacademy-cuts-12-staff-11680202273920.html |access-date=2023-04-18 |website=mint |language=en}}</ref>
