The Reality
1.5M engineering graduates
every year in India
83% won't receive a job
or internship offer

The jobs exist. The readiness doesn't.
It's not a supply problem. It's a skills gap.

ThinkGauge

Readiness isn't a feeling.
It's a number.

Our AI-powered assessment engine goes far beyond MCQs, producing a structured score that students can act on, and employers can trust.

300-Point Readiness Score

Broken across Fundamentals, Applied Knowledge, and Industry Readiness, each scored separately for clarity.

Beyond MCQs: Real Evaluation

Scenario reasoning, debugging tasks, mini design questions. Tests what you can do, not just what you recall.

Personalised 4-Week Roadmap

Every report generates specific tasks and projects mapped to your gaps, not generic study advice.

Role-Fit Signal for Employers

Scores map to specific roles. Students know where to aim, employers know who to shortlist.

Domains

Where we go deep.

Focused on the technologies shaping the next decade: IoT, AI, and Data.

Domain 01

IoT & Embedded Systems

Our hero domain. From bare-metal firmware on STM32/ESP32 to Linux-based embedded systems and full cloud-connected product pipelines, skills that ship real products.

Domain 02

AI / ML

From training and deploying models to integrating LLMs and running inference at the edge. AI skills built for product engineers, not just data scientists.

Our Roots

An initiative by
Team Shalaka.

ThinkBinary is built by Shalaka Connected Devices LLP, a team that has spent years building real hardware products, industrial IoT systems, and connected devices. We know what it takes to hire and grow engineers who can actually ship.

We created ThinkBinary because we saw the same gap repeatedly: graduates with degrees who couldn't debug a UART issue, explain their projects end-to-end, or show any credible signal to an employer.

ThinkBinary is our answer: structured, honest, practical. Not another edtech portal with certificates for watching videos. A real skilling system, built by engineers for engineers.
