Scora Labs Pvt Ltd

What Scora Labs Pvt Ltd does

Scora Labs Pvt Ltd is a Bangalore-based, bootstrapped SaaS company that operates the SCORA® cloud-based assessment platform. Founded in 2022 by L S Venkatesh, the company targets hiring teams, learning and development functions, certification bodies, and academic institutions that need structured, competency-based assessments with audit-ready traceability. The platform is delivered as a multi-tenant SaaS built on AWS, with modules covering item authoring (Scora Author), test administration (Scora Admin), delivery (Scora Test), on-screen marking (Scora Examiner), identity verification and proctoring (Scora Secure, powered by Scora Proctor), and analytics (Scora Insights), plus an AI-assisted question item generator (Scora Agent).

Underlying technology combines a native cloud architecture with OAuth 2.0 authentication, SSL and firewall protections, and integrations with AWS Rekognition (identity), ETH Zurich's Safe Exam Browser (lockdown), and Shinkan's AI engine (behavioral proctoring with 200+ integrity breach detections). Assessment design follows Bloom's Taxonomy alignment with blueprint-driven test design and defensible scoring models. The platform supports multilingual content, multimedia question types (MCQ, descriptive, file upload, comprehension, matching), and specialized STEM editors (math/LaTeX, chemistry).

SCORA monetizes via annual SaaS subscriptions targeting Indian SMBs and startups with three transparent tiers: Hire (talent acquisition, from ₹25,000 + GST/year), Train (L&D, from ₹40,000 + GST/year), and Certify (compliance and certification, from ₹1,20,000 + GST/year for 201-500 employees), plus add-ons for additional test attempts or employee seats. Go-to-market is hybrid — a sales-led enterprise motion with demo requests alongside a product-led self-serve trial and checkout flow. The company serves customers primarily in India with a claimed global footprint, operates with a 9-person team, and has remained self-funded without disclosed institutional capital.
