Kazakhstanis Came Up with a Way to Fight Cheating and Could Earn Over $300 Million in the UK
Yersultan Yermanov launched his first startup while still a student. Together with his classmates, he created two travel portals at the Embassy of Kazakhstan in Singapore. This was followed by the large marketplace Kupi.kz, which had to be shut down at the peak of its popularity, and a search for a high-demand solution in the education sector. Eventually, after several unsuccessful attempts, Yersultan and his team identified a real market pain point—this is how the TrustExam.ai project emerged. Initially, it helped combat cheating during exams. Today, it is a full-fledged anti-cheating system designed to ensure fairness and objectivity during any form of knowledge assessment, both online and offline.
