Accenture has acquired TalentSprint, a top deep tech education provider, from NSE Academy Ltd., a subsidiary of the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE). This strategic move boosts Accenture LearnVantage’s ability to scale high-impact bootcamps and university-certified programs. As a result, it will help build future-ready talent pipelines for both enterprises and government initiatives.
Established in 2009, TalentSprint has played a key role in shaping the tech workforce in India. The company empowers both emerging and experienced professionals with in-demand digital skills through partnerships with top academic institutions and enterprise tech leaders. Its long-standing collaborations with institutes like IITs, IIMs, IIITs, and global research centers ensure its programs stay current, practical, and aligned with industry needs.
Headquartered in Hyderabad, India, with an additional office in Sunnyvale, California, TalentSprint’s team of around 210 experts will now be part of Accenture LearnVantage. This integration will enhance LearnVantage’s ability to support businesses in reshaping their workforce through targeted upskilling, reskilling, and AI-driven training solutions.
TalentSprint delivers its high-impact learning through bootcamps, certification programs, and e-degrees, serving professionals at various career levels. These programs focus on disruptive technologies and modern managementdisciplines. From AI, data science, cybersecurity, and chip design to semiconductor tech, sustainability, digital transformation, and leadership development, TalentSprint equips learners with the future-ready skills needed in today’s rapidly evolving tech landscape.
“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 organizations and achieve greater business value.”
The acquisition of TalentSprint strengthens Accenture’s ongoing investment in cutting-edge learning platforms, following its recent partnerships with Udacity and Award Solutions. It aligns with the company’s $1 billion commitment to LearnVantage, announced in early 2024.
LearnVantage is Accenture’s comprehensive learning and development platform designed to help organizations become talent creators. By putting people at the core of business transformation, it empowers clients to drive growth using the power of technology, data, and AI.
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, organizations, and governments alike.”
