From the words of Our Founder & CEO
Ms Shivani Khodidas
Ms Shivani Khodidas
Founder and CEO
I am a certified DALF C2 native French speaker educated entirely in the French system, has been teaching French as a foreign language for the past 10 years. Specializing in spoken French and exam preparation, I use innovative methods to engage students of all ages and backgrounds.
In addition to my teaching credentials, I hold a professional translation certificate from the Alliance Française de Bombay and bring expertise and passion to every session. I founded this institute to inspire and guide learners toward fluency, using creative and effective teaching methods, and to provide quality French language training, helping students achieve their goals with confidence.
I pride myself on my ability to connect with students of all ages, from 6 years old to adults, ensuring that each learner feels supported and inspired throughout their language journey. As such, every member of my team strongly believes that there is no age limit to learning one of the most difficult languages in the world.

Our Story
A Language School Born from Pure Passion
The French Co was founded with one simple but powerful belief: that language learning should be joyful, accessible, and transformative. What started as a passion project in Navi Mumbai has grown into a thriving online institute that serves students across India and beyond.
We saw a gap — too many learners were stuck in dull, textbook-heavy classrooms that prioritised grammar over confidence. We set out to build something different: a space where French feels alive, where trainers are invested in your success, and where every class moves you closer to fluency.
"Our mission is simple — to make high-quality French language education accessible to every learner, wherever they are in India." - Shivani Khodidas ( Founder of THE FRENCH CO )
