In the early days of this start-up, leaders at Mettl realized that online assessments as a process were much broader than what they had thought it would be. Gradually picking up momentum and gathering a team of technical experts, Mettl worked its way up the ladder to become the awe-inspiring success story among start-ups in India.

Today, with over 6 million assessments daily, Mettl is one of the largest and fastest growing talent measurement company in India. It works with the top corporates, education institutions and government bodies across the globe, providing solutions like psychometric assessments, cognitive assessments, and domain assessments through their robust online platform coupled with the unique state of the art ‘Remote Proctoring Technology’.
