Case study
Prepado lets students do a job before they get one, and lets companies hire on what people can actually do. When we met, it was an idea in its founder's head. We became its entire team.

The client
A fair way into a first job
Prepado Solutions Private Limited is a Mumbai start-up founded by Anviksha Singh. Her starting point was simple. Most freshers in India apply to dozens of jobs before a single interview, and software rejects many of them before a person reads a word. Companies, on the other side, read hundreds of CVs that all look the same, and still make bad junior hires.
Her answer: let people do the job first. A student works through a realistic simulation of a role, gets an independent score, and companies see that score instead of a CV.
The challenge
Only an idea, and a lot to build
There was no product, no tech team, no brand and no plan to reach the market. A platform like this needs AI, product thinking, design, engineering, marketing and sales, all at once. Hiring that team one person at a time would have used up most of a year before anything reached a student.
What we saw
Three sides, and one number they all trust
Prepado is not one product. It is a marketplace with three sides: students who want a job, companies who want to hire, and the experienced professionals who review the work. Each side needs its own portal, and none of them is worth much without the other two.
Holding it together is the score. Students come for a fair score. Companies come because they can trust it. So the simulation, the assessment and the evaluation all had to serve one thing: a score that means something.
What we built
The whole platform, end to end
AI job simulation engine
Three-week simulations of a real job. Emails, meetings, deadlines and decisions, built role by role. A student learns what the work feels like before they take the job.
TIGER assessment
A short psychometric assessment, about 15 minutes, that maps how a person thinks and decides. Prepado uses it to recommend roles and simulations.
More about TIGER at kirnova.comJob discovery
A guided stretch of exploring roles, so a student picks a simulation with some idea of what they are walking into.
Evaluation engine
Scores the work done in a simulation across skills such as problem solving and communication, and produces the Prepado Score and a detailed report.
Matching engine
Puts strong performers in front of the companies hiring for that role.
Expert portal
Experienced professionals review work, guide learners, and get paid for their time.
Company portal
Hiring teams post roles and hire through Prepado, looking at performance instead of a pile of CVs.
And the many smaller pieces a real business runs on, from sign-up and payments to reports and certificates.
Who did the work
One team in place of six hires
We were Prepado's outsourced team for everything. The team grew from 4 to 9 people and shrank again as each stage needed. The founder dealt with one team and one owner, not six vendors on six WhatsApp groups.
- Product consultingTurning the idea into a product: who it serves, what it does first, and what waits.
- Strategy and go-to-marketWho to sell to, in what order, and how to reach them.
- DesignThe brand, the website and every screen in the platform.
- Technology and AIThe platform, the portals and the engines behind them, built and run.
- Marketing and growthGetting students, companies and experts to show up, and to come back.
- Revenue and product supportSelling, onboarding and keeping the product improving after launch.
How it went
Planned for 24 months. Done in about 9.
We started in March 2026. The plan said about two years to a working, earning product. It took about nine months. No shortcut did that. Both teams stayed active and engaged the whole way, so questions got answered the same day and decisions did not sit in an inbox.
The work did not stop at launch. We still run product, tech and growth with Prepado today.
