Technology company Accenture has acquired TalentSprint, a Hyderabad-based edtech firm, from NSE Academy Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE).
Accenture said the acquisition will bolster LearnVantage’s ability to drive growth through key university certifications and high-impact boot camps, creating trained talent pools for enterprises and governments.
Offering transformational learning programs
Founded in 2009 by Santanu Paul, Madhumurty Ronanki and J. A. Chowdary, TalentSprint offers transformational learning programs to emerging and experienced professionals in partnership with top-tier academic institutions and leading enterprise technology providers.
The platform focuses on talent development, empowering professionals with skills that are future-ready. It has partnerships with leading enterprise technology providers and prestigious academic institutions, including the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), International Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), and globally renowned research institutions to ensure its programs remain industry-relevant and deliver high-impact learning outcomes.
Focus area
TalentSprint delivers its programs through bootcamps, certifications, and e-degrees, catering to learners across different career stages to build expertise in disruptive technologies and new-age management domains.
Its programs span diverse areas, including AI, data science, cybersecurity, chip design, semiconductor technologies, digital transformation, sustainability, leadership, and other areas of management, equipping learners to be future-ready.
TalentSprint team to join Accenture
Apart from Hyderabad, TalentSprint also has offices in Sunnyvale, California. As part of the acquisition, TalentSprint’s team of approximately 210 professionals will join Accenture LearnVantage.
This will strengthen LearnVantage’s capabilities to help organisations reshape their workforce through upskilling, reskilling and preparing them for an AI-powered world, the company said.
“TalentSprint’s end-to-end delivery capabilities of focused learning programs provide a competitive value proposition for learners and enterprises alike, making it a great fit for our expanding LearnVantage business,” said Kishore Durg, global lead of Accenture LearnVantage.
“The addition of TalentSprint further boosts our ability to meet our clients’ demand for training, helping their people gain the essential technology skills in emerging areas needed to reinvent their organisations and achieve greater business value.”
Leadership comments
Commenting on the acquisition, Ashishkumar Chauhan, Managing Director & CEO, NSE, said, “This transaction underscores NSE’s strategic focus on its core business while divesting from non-core business areas. This acquisition is a testament to the exceptional quality and potential of the business that NSE has built over the years.”
“Since inception, our mission has been to equip learners with deep expertise for a disrupted world,” said Anurag Bansal, Managing Director and CEO of TalentSprint.
“Joining forces with Accenture LearnVantage allows us to scale our impact, delivering cutting-edge technology and next-gen management programs that are valued and trusted by students, professionals, organisations, and governments alike.”
