About
Making every evaluator's time count
GradeSense is AI grading infrastructure for institutions that evaluate at scale. We exist to give teachers their time back — without compromising on grading quality.
The problem we saw
Every year, millions of handwritten answer sheets are graded manually across Indian schools, coaching institutes, and universities. The process is exhausting, error-prone, and inconsistent. Teachers spend weeks checking papers instead of teaching. Students wait days or weeks for results and receive little to no actionable feedback.
Existing AI tools are built for MCQ-style assessment — they can't handle handwriting, subjective answers, or institution-specific rubrics. That's a critical gap in the largest education system in the world.
GradeSense was built to close that gap. We started by working directly with coaching institutes running weekly mock tests for 500+ students — the most demanding grading workload in India. From there, we built infrastructure that handles handwriting recognition, rubric-based evaluation, and structured feedback — all under teacher control.
Where we are today
GradeSense is in early access. We're working with a small group of pilot institutions to refine our AI models, improve grading accuracy, and build the workflows that matter most to real evaluators.
Our team is based in Bengaluru. We're backed by Microsoft for Startups and supported by Scaler. We're building in the open — and we're looking for institutions ready to be part of shaping the future of exam evaluation.
Our values
What drives how we build
Accuracy First
We believe AI should augment human judgment, not replace it. Every feature we build prioritizes grading accuracy and gives teachers the final word.
Built for Educators
GradeSense is designed with teacher workflows in mind — not generic AI wrappers. We understand marking schemes, rubrics, and institutional compliance.
Student Impact
Better feedback changes outcomes. Our AI generates structured, actionable insights for every answer — helping students understand not just their score, but how to improve.
