Our Methodology

Built on Science. Mapped to India.

SARATHI is not a generic personality quiz. It is a psychometric engine that evaluates 60 dimensions of your psychology, maps them to real Indian careers, and produces an actionable 7-page roadmap — not a label.

The Frameworks

Three validated pillars. One Indian context.

Big Five Personality Traits

We assess adaptability, diligence, stress resilience, and collaboration orientation through the lens of the Five-Factor Model — the most widely validated personality framework in modern psychology.

Holland Occupational Themes (RIASEC)

Your intrinsic interests are mapped to Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional environments — predicting long-term job satisfaction before you commit to a degree.

Self-Determination Theory

We evaluate the balance of autonomy, mastery, and purpose in your motivational drivers. A career that satisfies all three is a career you stay in.

The AI Engine

From 60 answers to a 7-page execution plan

SARATHI routes your assessment data through Google Gemini 2.5 Pro. The engine does not merely classify you — it reasons about the interactions between your traits to surface career paths that generic tests miss entirely.

Each report is generated with a 270-second timeout window and validated against a strict Zod schema before it ever reaches your dashboard. This prevents hallucinated keys, malformed salary data, and broken PDF renders.

Salary benchmarks are sourced from AmbitionBox India 2026 data for metro and Tier-2 cities — not live-scraped job boards that fluctuate daily. We tell you what the market actually pays, not what an algorithm guessed.

Bias Prevention

We enforce a diversity constraint that limits any single industry bucket from dominating your top-5 matches. Your dream career is honoured, not overwritten.

Institutional Privacy

For campus-linked assessments, only aggregated placement-readiness data is shared with the college TPO. Your detailed personal roadmap remains private to you, always.

Our Mission

Stop the 3-year wrong-career tax.

Most Indian students spend years — and lakhs of rupees — pursuing careers that do not fit their psychology. SARATHI exists to eliminate that friction. We believe every student deserves a clear, data-backed answer to the question: "What should I actually do with my life?"

For institutions, we believe placement cells should operate on predictive intelligence, not intuition. When you know your cohort's readiness gaps before recruitment season starts, you can intervene — not react.
