Pune start-up at the forefront as universities shift exams online

With suite of apps, firm is sweeping away outmoded exam processes

PUNE: For long, the spectre of technical glitches, question paper leaks and proctoring woes have haunted universities and educational establishments struggling to conduct online examinations smoothly in a pandemic-racked world. However, a Pune-based start-up may have the answer to these problems. Already a force to reckon with in its sphere, ‘WeShineTech’ was conceived by brothers Anupam and Utkarsh Mangudkar, along with tech expert Ramkrishna Kulkarni in a single-room apartment in Pune’s Bavdhan area, and is sweeping away the cobwebs of outmoded varsity exam processes. Their modest website belies the innovation of their products: WeShineTech’s UniApps package — a suite of applications to automate university examination processes — assures secure conduct of exams in areas with erratic Internet connectivity using minimal infrastructure.
