About Zerodha

Zerodha Broking Limited has been serving in the finance sector for the last 12 years. It is recognized as one of the best start-ups and is the recipient of many prestigious awards, including Startup of the Year by the Economic Times Start-Up Awards.
It is believed that continuous improvement is the key to success. The employees of any organization must be encouraged to improve their skills, knowledge, and expertise to improve their own and the organization’s performance. Understanding the same, Zerodha wanted to conduct a monthly knowledge assessment for the product and process knowledge of their employees.

Need for Assessment Platform

Zerodha wanted to conduct the assessment for its employees every month and provide certification based on these tests. As the tests were crucial for the continuous growth of the company, they were to be conducted in a secure mode. Along with the employee knowledge assessment, the company also wanted to conduct tests for hiring fresh talent.
With such a spectrum of requirements, Zerodha Broking Limited approached the Eklavvya team to streamline the exam process. With the help of experience, expertise and technology, Eklavvya could successfully conduct thousands of assessments with excellence

Here are the top features that helped Zerodha Broking Limited streamline its employee knowledge assessment and hiring process
Streamline Employee Knowledge Assessment and the Process
Ability to conduct frequent assessments
With Eklavvya, the company could conduct the assessments at a higher frequency. Once the employee data was added to the system, they did not have to do the rework of importing the data again for the next assessment. The employee batches could be created in the system, and exams could be assigned batch-wise with a single click. This also provided a hassle-free exam assignment experience for the management
Better traceability of the exam process
The employee details for exams and applicant details for pre-hiring assessments could be efficiently stored in the system, and the results could be generated within a single click. The result was exportable with different data columns and file formats.
The admin team could easily trace the candidate’s activity, assigned exams, and results. Individual scorecards and review reports were available to management. This provided better traceability and record accessibility to the management team.
Secure exam process
The company wanted to provide internal certifications to those who would pass the assessment. It was a must for the company to keep the exam process cheating-free to appreciate the excellence of those who deserve it and to keep the value of the certification.
Considering this, the company opted for the video-proctored exam. An online invigilator could stream the live videos of examinees; this efficiently helped the company curb malpractice during the assessment process. Moreover, these video recordings could be saved for future reference
Technical error-free exam process
Corporate proctored assessments must be conducted in a technical error-free system, as the employees have to take time out of their busy schedules to appear for the assessment. The exam process was technical error-free, and the online exam system was stable even at the highest volume of concurrent video-proctored assessments.
The user interface was easy to understand for the examinees, which made the assessment process even easier. Online assessment credentials were shared with candidates automatically and well in advance to minimize the last-minute rush before the assessment

Here is what the Zerodha team says about the Eklavvya Platform
We’ve been using the platform for conducting evaluations for our employees internally and for recruitment tests. Eklavvya is a much more streamline platform than the previous platform that we have been using.
With Eklavvya, we’ve been able to evaluate better, conduct evaluations more frequently. Tracking the responses of employees was faster and more convenient.
We had quite a unique requirement which was efficiently met in our case by Eklavvya.
Furthermore, we plan to conduct a few certifications for our clients using this as well
