What Whizlabs does

Whizlabs, operated by Whizlabs Software Pvt. Ltd., is an online cloud and emerging-technology certification training platform founded in 2015 and headquartered in Bengaluru, India (note: firmographics data also lists year 2000, which conflicts with the company-history timeline and is unresolved in the source material). The platform delivers an integrated learning experience comprising video courses, exam-mimicking practice tests with detailed explanations, 1,000+ hands-on labs, and on-demand cloud sandboxes spanning AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Power Platform, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Python/Jupyter environments. The technical architecture is a cloud-based learning management system with native sandbox orchestration that allows learners to build systems and architectures without incurring personal cloud-provider charges, a feature that addresses a core cost-and-friction barrier for individual practitioners.

Whizlabs serves two primary customer segments through a hybrid go-to-market: (1) individual IT professionals and cloud/AI practitioners who self-serve subscribe to Premium ($177/year) or Premium+ ($267/year) tiers, and (2) enterprise organizations with 452+ named enterprise clients including Accenture, Google, KPMG, Wavestone, Global Knowledge, Telefonica, TUV-SUD, Unisys, Tridance, Caylent, and Inos receiving customized learning paths, team management, advanced integrations, and team-level performance monitoring. Distribution is product-led via whizlabs.com, mobile apps, content marketing, SEO, social channels, and an affiliate program; enterprise sales are handled through a dedicated business team. The platform claims 10M+ learners across 81+ countries with a 4.5/5 user rating and 4.9/5 on Capterra.

Whizlabs is bootstrapped with no disclosed funding rounds, M&A, or parent company. Leadership includes CEO Krishna Srinivasan and Co-founder Purvesh Sharma. Revenue model is subscription-recurring (individual and enterprise) with a Whizmastery Sale running 60% off annual plans and up to 80% off courses. The company has been actively expanding into AI certifications, with launches covering AWS Generative AI Developer Professional, DP-700 Microsoft Fabric Data Engineer, AB-100 Microsoft Agentic AI Business Solutions Architect, and nine new Microsoft AI-focused certification courses (AI-300, AI-200, AI-103, AI-901, DP-750, DP-800, SC-500, SC-730, AZ-802) replacing seven retiring certifications as of 2026.
