About my venture

Propadis Inc.

My wife works for ETS which is a top 10 company in education solution sector. For the last couple of years I am hearing how they struggle to provide the solution to their customers, mostly universities. The challenge becomes even fierce when the test happens online. With that backdrop I started to do some research about education sector and more precisely exam solutions sub sector. I realize there are four pillars in the online exam solution sub sector. Here the exam content is given, and start the work general administration from student side and from Institution side, then there is authentication, test taking, evaluation and store the certifications in a secure manner. I got very excited and do some more research on competition and what solution currently available. I realize that although there are good LMS (leraning management software) available there is not much in Auto proctoring (proctoring through system) and also there is no integration between exam taking and certification.
