About QuizAttempt
Your child has taken hundreds of tests since Nursery.Can you name one thing they got wrong?
Neither could we. That bothered us enough to build a company about it. Give us three minutes — this is the story.
Start with the man who asked the question
A teacher for 22 years. A principal for 27.
Ravi's father has spent fifty years inside Indian schools. In 2025, over dinner, Ravi was explaining to him what “AI in education” had come to mean — smart boards, lessons on screens, content apps. The old man listened the way principals listen: patiently, and not for long.
Putting the lessons on a TV is not digitalisation. Where is the technology that understands where a child is struggling?
Three hours later they were still at the table. What about the pattern of mistakes? What if the concept that fails in Class 8 actually broke in Class 6 — and the evidence was sitting in forty marked test papers nobody ever read twice? Somewhere past midnight he gave Ravi the line this company is built on:
A child's education is a bicycle. Parents are one wheel, teachers the other — and it only moves when both turn together.
Right now, the entire connection between those two wheels is a report card. Twice a year. Weeks after it could have helped.
The night before the Biology exam
The idea became unavoidable at home. The night before a Biology exam, a mother sat with her daughter's textbook open in front of her. She hadn't touched Biology in twenty-five years. She had one question — the only question any parent has the night before an exam — is she ready?
There was no way to answer it. Not by reading the textbook upside-down at the kitchen table. Not by asking the child, who said “yes, Ma” the way every child says it. The answer would arrive with the marks, two weeks later, when it was useful to no one.
This was a teacher's own household. Fifty years of education inside those walls, and even there the night ended in a shrug. If that house was blind, every house was. That was the final nail — we stopped discussing and started building.
It started as a Google Forms complaint
The honest version of our origin is not glamorous. Teachers around us were bending Google Forms into exam papers — no question-paper format, no analytics, no results anyone could keep. We thought fixing that was a weekend project.
Then every teacher and parent we showed it to pulled it somewhere bigger. Can parents see this? Can it make the question paper too? Can it tell me where my kid is weak? The weekend project refused to stay small — and we learnt to stop arguing with it.
We are Ravi, Aman and Ankit — three founders from Jamshedpur, building for the towns we grew up in, where a ₹1-3 lakh learning platform is not an option and never will be. Ravi’s father still reviews what we build. He is not easily impressed. We consider that a feature.

What people do with it
From our pilot schools and the families using them. Told to us in staff rooms and phone calls — written down here the way we heard them.
Earlier I sat till late night before term exams, formatting MCQs one by one — options, numbering, sections. Now the paper is ready in minutes and I only review the questions. Those hours are mine again.
I asked for an unseen passage and a poem on my topic, at my children’s level — and that is exactly what came. Normally I search three guidebooks and still rewrite half of it.
A few of the questions made me stop and think myself. I taught that chapter differently because of them. When a question teaches the teacher, it is a good question.
I studied these subjects twenty years ago — who remembers now? Still I tested my son at home, in minutes, without knowing the chapter myself. For the first time I felt part of his preparation, not just the one paying for it.
It showed me which question, which topic, which chapter my daughter got wrong. She is in Class 4 — if we fix the small gaps now, she won’t struggle later. That is all a parent wants: to know in time.
Earlier when he took my phone, my heart would sink — reels, reels, reels. Now he takes it to attempt the quiz his school assigned. And I finally know what is being taught in his class. I feel connected to his school life again.
Where this goes
Vision
A twelve-year learning record for every child in India — so no student ever again fails in Class 10 because of a gap nobody noticed in Class 6.
Mission
Make assessment intelligence free for every school and affordable for every family — starting with the 9.6 crore children the industry left behind.
The lines we won't cross
Schools never pay for assessment. A tool teachers are made to pay for is a tool teachers stop using.
Priced for Bharat. If a family in a small town can't afford it, it is priced wrong.
A child's data is not a product. No ads, no trackers, no selling data. AI never sees a child's name.
Teachers stay in charge. AI drafts, teachers decide. Every score can be overridden by a human.
