Mettl offers a cloud-based platform for designing, administering, and analysing online tests. Its product suite spans pre-hire screening, technical and coding evaluations, psychometric and personality assessments, remote proctored examinations, and learning and development diagnostics. Clients typically include corporate recruiters, training organisations, certification bodies, universities, and government agencies that conduct large-scale recruitment or admission examinations.
The company was founded in Gurugram in 2010 by Ketan Kapoor and Tonmoy Shingal, both alumni of the Indian Institute of Management Lucknow. It was established to address the gap between traditional paper-based testing and the growing demand for scalable, data-driven hiring tools in India and emerging markets. Early operations focused on recruitment assessments for the Indian information technology services industry, before expanding into campus hiring, certifications, and remote proctoring.
Mettl is regarded as one of the early Indian software-as-a-service ventures to scale globally in the talent assessment domain. Its acquisition by Mercer was viewed as a milestone for the Indian HR-technology sector, reflecting the demand for data-driven hiring practices and the credibility of locally built assessment platforms in international markets. The company also played a role in popularising remote proctored examinations among Indian universities and certification bodies, particularly during the shift to online testing in the late 2010s and the COVID-19 period.
