Credo

What Credo does

Credo is an AI-driven educational governance and employability measurement platform built for higher education institutions operating under India's NAAC accreditation framework. Its core product is an AI Assessment engine that simulates professional interviews in real time using Bloom's Taxonomy adaptive logic, scoring candidates across six weighted readiness parameters (Technical, Cognitive, Communication, Integrity, Learning Agility, Behavior) with sub-50ms latency and producing a composite Placement Readiness Index (PRI). A Neural Proctoring Suite combines AI face detection, audio monitoring, and tab-lock enforcement, while the NAAC Evidence Vault automates SSR and AQAR documentation with immutable, IP-logged audit trails covering Criteria 1, 2, 5 and 6. The platform is delivered through a 7-role governance matrix spanning Institution Admin, Head of Department, IQAC Coordinator, Placement Officer, Faculty, Recruiter, and Student, with native LTI 1.3 Advantage integration into Canvas, Blackboard and Moodle plus a REST API for custom ERP sync.

The company sells on a tiered SaaS subscription model with three quotes: Academy (up to 500 assessments/month, basic NAAC reporting), College (unlimited assessments, advanced proctoring, full IQAC/NAAC audit trails, "Most Popular" positioning), and University (custom pricing, white-label, global cluster deployments, dedicated success manager, multi-year contracts). Go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales targeting Indian colleges and universities, with structured walkthrough sessions, strategic audit protocols, and direct engagement of Principals, Directors, IQAC Coordinators and TPOs. Marketing is content-driven via a role-based documentation hub and direct demo scheduling. Current geographic scope is India only, though the University tier is positioned for global cluster deployments. No funding rounds, revenue figures, customer logos, or leadership team details are disclosed in available materials.
