It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our much-loved colleague, friend and Chief Operating Officer, Kuljit Singh Uppal, who passed away on Tuesday, 11 August 2026.
There are some people whose presence is felt wherever they go, and Kuljit was one of those people.
He was warm, humble and incredibly kind. He had time for everyone, regardless of their role or how long they had been with us, and treated every person with the same respect. He had a way of making people feel comfortable, supported and valued.
Those who knew Kuljit will remember his smile, his sense of humour and the energy he brought with him. He could be leading the business one moment and sharing a joke with colleagues the next. He joined in, he encouraged people, he supported them, and he was never too senior to simply be one of the team.
His contribution to School of Coding & AI was immeasurable, but it is the person behind the role that we will miss most. A colleague, a mentor, a friend and, for so many of us, a huge part of the heart and soul of our organisation.
The shock of losing Kuljit is incredibly difficult to put into words. From everyone at School of Coding & AI, we are deeply saddened, and our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with his family, loved ones and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
Thank you, Kuljit, for everything you gave to our organisation and, more importantly, to the people within it.
Your kindness, your laughter and that unforgettable smile will stay with us always.
Rest in peace, Kuljit. You will be deeply missed. 🤍
