What Wheebox does

Wheebox is an India-headquartered, AI-powered skills assessment company founded in 2011 and headquartered in Gurgaon. The company provides a digital assessment platform that combines remote proctoring, large-scale examination delivery, and workforce benchmarking analytics for enterprise hiring, higher-education employability measurement, and government/public-sector recruitment and certification programs. Core technical capabilities include AI-assisted remote proctoring with identity verification, browser controls, live invigilation support, and behavioral analysis; infrastructure for simultaneous multi-location examinations; and centralized dashboards for real-time operational visibility across examinations. The India Skills Report, an annual large-scale employability study, functions as both a research output and the company's flagship demand-generation asset.

The company's revenue model is built on subscription and recurring enterprise contracts with three roughly balanced primary customer segments — enterprise organizations (hiring, certification, and talent benchmarking), universities and academic institutions (employability outcome assessments), and government and public-sector bodies (recruitment, certification, and large-scale examinations). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; prospective customers are routed through a 'Request a Demo' workflow and downloadable India Skills Report lead-capture form, consistent with a consultative, sales-led motion. Distribution runs through direct enterprise and inside sales in India, augmented after the 2025 acquisition by ETS's global network of 13 country portals and cross-sell through ETS subsidiaries including PSI, Edusoft, Kira Talent, and Vericant.

In September 2023, Wheebox raised a $30,000,000 strategic capital round from ETS Strategic Capital, and in 2025 was acquired by ETS (Educational Testing Service). It now operates under the ETS Solutions umbrella alongside fellow subsidiaries, with Nirmal Singh as Founder and CEO, Bishnu Nepak as Chief Revenue Officer, and Pawan Kumar as Chief Technology Officer. Headcount stands at 101–250 employees, and prior funding includes a $5M round with Multiples in 2017 and an earlier round led by Lumis Partners in 2013.
