Testsigma is an open-source, low-code, extendable test automation platform that works out of the box to enable everyone in the team to rapidly develop, execute, and analyze end-to-end tests for web and mobile apps, and APIs in plain English.
What we’re trying to do at Testsigma is not just simplify test automation to speed up the testing, but also make it a sustainable, scalable process in which the tools don’t require ongoing maintenance, freeing up the teams to focus on value delivery instead of building and maintaining scripts and frameworks
Rukmangada Kandyala, Founder and CEO of Testsigma, says, “Today’s test stack has made test automation more about writing and maintaining scripts than about taking quality software to market as quickly as possible. What we’re trying to do at Testsigma is not just simplify test automation to speed up the testing, but also make it a sustainable, scalable process in which the tools don’t require ongoing maintenance, freeing up the teams to focus on value delivery instead of building and maintaining scripts and frameworks.”
The test automation market is growing at a healthy 20% year-on-year and it will be a US$50 billion market by 2025. Currently over 80% of the companies are building their custom test automation stack from scratch, according to a World Quality Report(21-22) over 63% of these are looking for smart testing solutions to speed up the releases.
With an increasing focus on automation and DevOps, software delivery is faster than ever before. Automated testing is essential for balancing software quality with the accelerated velocity of release cycles, but because the toolchain that is supposed to enable automated testing has many moving parts, test automation becomes a parallel development project in organizations. They also have huge upfront and ongoing resource, tech, and expertise costs.
Testsigma’s open-source test automation platform is designed to replace the entire broken test stack and enable modern software development teams to test and release products quickly, continuously, and at scale. This is a problem modern engineers have wanted solved for a long time, and hence the large-scale interest in Testsigma.
Testsigma was founded by Rukmangada Kandyala, Pratheep Velicherla, Vikram Chaitanya, and Rajesh Reddy in 2019. The team comes with rich experience in developing enterprise SaaS applications for Zoho, Freshworks, Oracle, HPE.

LambdaTest is a leading test orchestration platform. Its core test execution platform allows users to run both manual and automated tests of web and mobile apps across 3000+ different browsers, browser versions, and operating system environments.
The company’s other offerings include HyperExecute, a next-gen smart test orchestration platform to help businesses run end-to-end automation tests at the fastest speed possible, and Test-at-Scale (TAS), a test intelligence platform.
LambdaTest’s core test execution platform allows users to test their websites and apps on over 3,000 different combinations of browsers, operating systems, and their many versions, and also real devices.
Testing of digital assets is important for businesses as they have little to no control over the preferences of their customers when it comes to phones, browsers or operating systems. Hence to provide a seamless customer experience businesses have to be on top of their testing game.
More importantly, with the ever-increasing pace of innovation in the digital world, testing is shifting left, which means that software testing is performed from the very early stages of product development and involves both developers and testers (QA), as compared to the earlier ‘waterfall’ model where testing was the last step before the product launch. This increasing need has made businesses yearn for cloud-based solutions that have been optimized for speed, performance, and reliability.
Hands-on experience in the field of enterprise testing made Asad Khan, CEO, LambdaTest, realise the need for an integrated software testing platform that is both scalable and flexible enough to help developers perform all types of testing. They started by launching a scalable browser compatibility testing platform LamdbaTest.
Khan says, “We are razor focussed on making the lives of developers and QA teams easier when it comes to test orchestration and execution. Over the past few months, we’ve released HyperExecute, a next-gen smart test orchestration platform to help businesses run end-to-end automation tests at the fastest speed possible.

Bizzo is an app for digitising all service based businesses that helps by creating customized booking portals.
Viineit Toshniiwal, CEO and Co-Founder at Bizzo said, “For too long now, India’s small businesses were pushed towards aggregation. However, the trend now is to move towards de-aggregation and reduced dependence on centralised monolith platforms with closed systems. The next decade is going to be all about unbundling and using open architecture-based systems that brings autonomy to small and independent businesses.”

“India’s service businesses don’t need middlemen, they need a medium, thus, Bizzo’s ultimate goal is to become the go-to solution provider for SMB businesses looking to join the digital mainstream and enjoy the perks of digitisation.”
Over the past decade, small and independent service businesses have lost out on their own branding and pricing power, and have witnessed erosion of profit margins due to hefty commissions charged by aggregators.
Also, the Indian services sector is largely unorganised with over 100 million small and independent service businesses in dire need of full-stack solutions to directly connect with their customers. Bizzo aims to address these pain points by handing back the power to these service-preneurs so that they regain connect with their customer base and control all aspects of their business.
Founded in 2021 with its headquarters in Mumbai, Bizzo focuses on empowering millions of service providers to build, scale and organise their businesses digitally. Established with the singular purpose of helping small and medium service providers to circumvent the growing monopoly of aggregators, Bizzo aims to put power back into their hands so that they can connect with their customers directly.
It does this by helping entrepreneurs to create their sophisticated booking portal that can help automate the intake of bookings 24×7 and ensure that a booking-related query is never missed out on.
The Government of India’s Open Network of Digital Commerce (ONDC) initiative, an open architecture-based UPI-like platform for trade in goods and services, is attracting major financial institutions such as ICICI Bank, SBI & CSC to invest. Bizzo’s vision is, thus, aligned with the overall market direction as it aims to develop a universal seller-side app to facilitate the digitisation of services.
