Certified Problem Solver

VTION is a verified digital analytics company (est. 2016) with significant B2B traction, including a strategic partnership with Kantar and clients like Spotify, GroupM, and HUL. The project relies on patented technology (US & India) for passive audience metering, addressing a critical gap in OTT/Audio measurement. While the submission form contained low-quality filler text (claiming 'everyone' as audience), the underlying business has verified revenue (~$1.3M), a large panel (~100k), and legitimate intellectual property, justifying a score comparable to established tech media brands.
