Vskills Certification

What Vskills Certification does

Vskills Certification operates a government-backed online certification and assessment platform, positioned as "India's Largest Certification Body" since 2010. The platform delivers over 200 professional certifications across 33 categories spanning IT, finance, HR, management, engineering, hospitality, healthcare, and vocational trades, and serves a registered user base of 3.5 million-plus with 100,000-plus certified alumni. Certifications are issued under ICSIL, a joint venture of the Government of NCT Delhi (DSIIDC) and the Government of India (TCIL), providing institutional endorsement that anchors the company's value proposition for working professionals, students, and corporate clients.

The core technology is a self-serve, web-based examination platform comprising an integrated Learning Management System, practice-test infrastructure, and a proctored computer-based testing engine available 24x7 with immediate scoring. The product portfolio bundles Professional Certifications with Practice Tests, a Resume Builder, an Interview Questions database, a Job Centre (with resume tagging on Shine.com, MonsterIndia, and Naukri.com), and an Instructor Tutorial Platform that lets third-party experts publish content. Enterprise services include customized Third-Party Assessments for organizations evaluating job applicants and employees, a line that has reached 50,000-plus individuals and organizations.

Revenue is generated primarily from one-time exam fees (typically $49-$249 per certification, with examples including AML-KYC at $59, Agentic AI at $65, and Cloud Computing at $249), supplemented by $20 retake fees, certificate re-issuance fees, and enterprise assessment contracts. Distribution is primarily direct-to-consumer via the website, with a complementary B2B channel for third-party assessments and bulk certifications to institutes; the platform also distributes content through channel partners including Whizlabs, Digital Vidya, and Getcertgo. The business operates without disclosed external venture funding.
