The Story behind

Certopus /Sur-toh-puhs/

While building our solution for streamlining certificate issuance, we often wondered what to name it. We discovered that our solution provided eight key benefits to organizations. Since it related to certificates, "Cert" felt like a natural fit.
We were inspired by the octopus, which has eight arms, and decided to use "opus" from "octopus." By combining "Cert" and "opus," we created the name Certopus.

Certificates + Octopus = Certopus

Company

Certopus was born out of a shared experience and a simple idea. When we were students, we empathized with the challenges our universities faced in issuing certificates. We saw an opportunity to create a solution that could streamline this process, so we built a proof of concept. Little did we know, our solution had the potential to address similar problems across multiple industries.

Driven by this discovery, we dedicated ourselves to developing Certopus full-time. Our journey has been one of passion, innovation, and a commitment to making a difference.

We started working on idea of Certopus in mid 2021. We conducted closed pilot with 100+ reputed institutes like Indian Institute of Technology (IITs) and based on their feedback we refined Certopus and launched it in public on 1st January, 2022. Today, Certopus stands as a testament to what can be achieved when a simple idea meets unwavering determination.
