Our values

Put people first

We prioritize the happiness and well-being of our people. We carry humility. We are empathetic and respectful. We embrace different perspectives, prioritize an inclusive culture, and recognize our success is correlated to our diversity as a team. We care more about the greater good of the team than our individual selves.

Never stop learning

The impact we make on learners, their communities, and society at large is what inspires us to do great work. We believe in life-long learning, a growth mindset, and intellectual curiosity - for our people, our customers, and our learners. Our intrinsic drive around continuous learning propels our success.

Do the right thing

We act with integrity and transparency. We value ethics. We lack hidden agendas, say what we mean, and act with pure intentions. We collaborate in pursuit of the truth. We have no tolerance for egos, entitlement, hierarchical thinking, or me > we. We believe building trust means building a better company.

Focus on the customer

Our customers are our partners. We work to transform their online learning experience. Their success depends on our ability to deliver outstanding results. We view our customers as colleagues and we win together. We build solutions they love. We are fans of our customers and they are fans of ours.

Have a bias for action

We make ideas reality. We resist paralysis by analysis. We take calculated risks, and we are thoughtful of long term impact. We experiment. We hustle as we did when we were a fresh startup. We move quickly, learn fast, and pivot. We are intentional in learning for the future.

Our history

BenchPrep started in 2009 when Ashish was preparing for the GMAT in New York City and had a revelation. He called his friend Ujjwal to vent about how difficult it was to find time to study while working a full-time job, and how he was forced to lug around these heavy test prep textbooks everywhere he went to take advantage of any free time. This annoying inconvenience led him to ask Ujjwal, “Why isn’t there a better way to study on the go?”

They decided to develop a mobile app for GMAT prep; this was the first ever test prep app of any kind for the iPhone. More than 1,000 test takers purchased the app in the first month (an “aha!” moment), which helped them immediately realize there were likely many more people who could benefit from an interactive, personalized online learning experience on their mobile devices.

BenchPrep started with an idea for efficient online learning

One mobile app led to 100+ apps and an omni-channel, enterprise-level SaaS LMS platform that BenchPrep now offers today. BenchPrep has helped several credentialing bodies and test publishers develop digital learning programs that deliver an exceptional, unmatched experience to learners. Through industry-leading partnerships with the world’s leading education and training organizations, BenchPrep has helped more than 6 million learners and continues to be at the forefront of technological innovation and improving learning outcomes far beyond what you can achieve with an LMS platform.

BenchPrep allows organizations to construct the best learner experience

Organizations are now starting to realize that the needs of today’s learners have changed. They need so much more than an LMS platform can provide: they need personalization, gamification, and real-time omni-channel access to learning content. BenchPrep is helping these organizations digitally transform their approach to online learning and training to align their methods and systems to today’s learner and drive more successful outcomes.
