Our Journey!
Preskilet MVP Launch
Preskilet’s first B2B MVP was launched. Within weeks, it gained over 300+ users who created video resumes and computer network presentations. The initial experiments showed a significant improvement in students’ confidence during interviews and boosted their self-feedback and reflection skills.
March 2021
MIT EDF Startup Innovation Award
Following the success of the MVP experiment, Preskilet received the Startup and Innovation Award from the Entrepreneurship Development Foundation (MIT-EDF) as one of the best emerging startups.
May 2021
Company Incorporation
After the success of the MVP, the product evolved based on user-suggested features and feedback. Preskilet was officially registered as a Private Limited company under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), Government of India.
June 2021
First B2B Client
Initially offered free from June 2021 to August 2022 for third-year students at MIT AOE as a pilot, the product demonstrated high value. It was then commercialized at the same institute, making MIT AOE the first paid B2B client, with subscription costs covered on behalf of students.
August 2022
First Recruiter: OSMOS.ai
Preskilet onboarded OSMOS.ai, an AI startup, as its first recruiter. Students using the platform were placed at salary packages of ₹10 LPA, ₹15 LPA, and eventually ₹44 LPA, showcasing early success in connecting talent with top companies.
December 2022
Second B2B Client
Following that success, MIT ACSC came on board as the second paid B2B client. The platform was officially adopted for use across the entire college.
January 2023
Recruiter 2: Dentsu International
To support a more diverse student base, Preskilet successfully partnered with global MNC Dentsu International. Over 10 students were placed through this collaboration.
April 2023
DPIIT Recognition
Preskilet was recognized and certified by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India.
May 2023
SISFS Grant
After being approved under the Startup India initiative, Preskilet received a grant of ₹2 Lakhs through the Startup India Seed Fund Scheme (SISFS), Government of India.
September 2023
Google Cloud Verification and Grant
Preskilet was selected for the Google Startups Cloud Program. After a thorough evaluation, Google officially approved Preskilet and awarded a grant of ₹1,50,000 in Google Cloud.
October 2023
Recruiter Base Expanded from 2 to 10+
Preskilet rapidly onboarded more recruiters using video profiles. Over 10 companies, including Xcelian Pvt. Ltd., Storybot LLP, Tech Mahindra, ZM Technology, Han Digital, B Pointer, and Radiant Solutions etc - hired students through the platform.
December 2023
Third B2B Client: University Onboarding
After two successful college-level implementations, Preskilet onboarded a full-fledged university comprising 17 colleges as a commercial B2B client — marking a major milestone in institutional adoption
January 2024
Acquisition of Curiculo.live
Curiculo.live began as a side project by Dhanesh Pawar and his brother Ganesh Pawar to support live, text-based resumes and improve job applications. Due to Ganesh's engagement in his own ventures and Dhanesh’s full-time role at Preskilet, the platform was officially acquired and integrated under Preskilet Private Limited as a second full-fledged product. This allowed students to use both video and live textual resumes in a unified ecosystem.
February 2024
The AI Shift
Following the rise of AI tools (like ChatGPT), students started using generative AI to fabricate repetitive resumes and cover letters. Recruiters began facing difficulty distinguishing real candidates. Preskilet’s video-first approach, and the one-live-resume-only rule of Curiculo.live, positioned the company strongly against AI-driven manipulation. In 2024, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman tweeted about the value of expressing in 30 seconds what others take 10 minutes to say — aligning deeply with Preskilet’s core methodology. This led to a refreshed brand focus: helping students become truly AI-proof.
April 2024
D2C Launch
Earlier, colleges had to subscribe to Preskilet on behalf of their students. In 2024, Preskilet expanded its model by launching Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) access, enabling students from any background or college—urban or rural—to directly purchase a subscription and use the platform. This created an equal space where every student can apply to companies, showcase their skills, and see what others are doing—bridging the gap between talent and industry. Now, Preskilet supports both models: B2B for colleges and D2C for individual students, empowering every learner to take control of their career journey.
June 2024
NEP 2020 Policy Alignment
During the “Shiksha Saptah” celebrations marking four years of National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, special attention was given to “Technology in Education Divas.” NEP emphasizes the role of digital platforms in improving access, quality, and equality in education. Preskilet naturally aligned with these goals — becoming a platform that supports campus digital transformation in line with NEP’s vision.
July 2024
For NEP Policy - Collaboration Innovation
To take NEP implementation further, Preskilet enabled recruiters (e.g., professionals from TCS) to assess student performance directly on the platform. This bridged the academia-industry gap, allowing real-time feedback and helping students stay in sync with rapidly changing industry demands — preparing them to be employable and industry-ready.
Jan 2025
Preskilet AI Launch
Preskilet began building its own in-house AI capable of detecting and labeling student faces in videos, along with automated student grading. Initial training was completed and live demos are available at BETA Domain of preskilet - nestimatic.com - To explore the face detection in action, go to Nestimatic.com, then navigate to: /preskiletDetectAI?videoIndex=2 (Change the video index to view multiple face detection results across different videos.)
