With over six years of professional experience spanning customer support, conference operations, and academic community engagement, Shyam identified critical pain points across the research landscape. Researchers routinely face fragmented resources, predatory conferences, opaque academic processes, and limited mechanisms for building scholarly credibility. These observations directly informed the creation of ScholarVault.
Founded on 26 February 2026, ScholarVault has achieved significant milestones in a short period: launching a Progressive Web App for researchers, completing GST registration and business banking, securing MSME/Udyam registration, and registering under the Startup India initiative. The platform has onboarded over 100 researchers and launched ICAHCR 2026, its first academic conference.
A key innovation is ScholarVault Verified — a conference evaluation and trust framework that helps researchers assess transparency, credibility, and publicly available academic indicators before participating in conferences and publication opportunities. This framework includes Conference Trust Scoring, Conference Risk Assessment, Indexing Verification, and Peer-Review Practice Assessment.
