All big names and brands(assessment companies which are our client, having content and testing engine) they depend for above delivery services on others. It was difficult initially to make them believe on our brands and services we provide. Started with 3 test center booking in 2012 the largest we booked was 700 test centers for 147000 candidates single day single batch in 2018 & lately we booked the test centers in SAARC countries in September 2022 which complete our saying “FROM LOCAL TO GLOBAL”.
