Founder Award: Namrata Kamdar, Testlify

The Founder Award, celebrating visionary leadership, was bestowed upon Namrata Kamdar, the passionate co-founder of Testlify. Testlify aims to help SMBs, startups, and enterprise companies globally and empower HRs to build resilient and skilled workforces in their organization with quality assessment at affordable pricing.

Namrata’s entrepreneurial spirit, commitment to innovation, and dedication to building a customer-centric organization have earned her this prestigious recognition. Under Namrata’s leadership, Testlify has achieved success and become a guiding light for aspiring entrepreneurs in the subscription industry.

“Before Testlify came to life, my co-founder and I had personally experienced the pain of hiring challenges. In another tech software company, hiring people based on resumes and interviews was causing problems. We struggled with biased resumes and ended up hiring people who looked great on paper but didn’t have the right skills or fit for the job. And I wanted to do something to solve this problem for thousands of companies who are facing similar challenges in the recruitment process. We knew we could do better. So, after looking at existing solutions and doing thorough research, we took the leap to create our own solutions. And thus, Testlify was born to make hiring smarter. We’re all about real proof, not just feelings.”
