MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521123324 A) filed by Dr. Sheetal Atul Phatangare; Zahrah Qureshi; Parnika Thakur; Zafirah Inamdar; Shrinidhi Zangaruche; and Vishwakarma Institute Of Technology, Pune, Maharashtra, on Dec. 7, 2025, for 'integrated collaborative skill intelligence and performance optimization platform.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. Sheetal Atul Phatangare; Zahrah Qureshi; Parnika Thakur; Zafirah Inamdar; and Shrinidhi Zangaruche.

The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses an intelligent skill-verification and competency-mapping system that autonomously measures, validates, and enhances learner capabilities through multi-source evidence aggregation, real-time analytics, and adaptive recommendation algorithms. Departing from conventional platforms dependent on manual evaluation or static skill tagging, the system introduces a dynamic, vector-based Skill-Gap Engine that computes weighted proficiency deficits by comparing verified skill metrics against project-specific competency requirements. The engine continuously refines its models using authenticated milestone completions, automated GitHub contribution verification, and contextual project metadata, generating an evolving proficiency profile for each learner. The invention further establishes an integrated framework for personalized collaboration by identifying high-proficiency peers for targeted skill development, surfacing contextually relevant learning events, and recommending optimized project pathways based on comparative gap analysis. A progressive milestone-path analyzer maps skill deficiencies to specific project tasks, enabling precision task assignment and structured learning progression. Through automated verification, dynamic competency quantification, and personalized development orchestration, the system creates a transparent, scalable, and tamper-evident ecosystem for credibility-driven project collaboration and skill advancement, substantially enhancing assessment accuracy and team formation efficiency across educational and professional environments."
