Accenture buys Hyd’s edu platform TalentSprint

Hyderabad: Accenture, a global professional services company, announced acquisition of Hyderabad-based TalentSprint, a deep tech education company from NSE Academy Ltd. With this take over, TalentSprint’s team of about 210 professionals will join Accenture LearnVantage.

The acquisition of TalentSprint supplements Accenture’s recent investments in Udacity and Award Solutions, and aligns with the company’s $1 billion investment in LearnVantage over three years, as announced in early 2024. LearnVantage is a comprehensive technology learning and training service that helps clients become talent creators with people at the center of their reinvention using technology, data, and AI.

Commenting on the acquisition, Ashishkumar Chauhan, Managing Director and 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 quality and potential of the business that NSE has built over the years.”

“TalentSprint’s end-to-end delivery capabilities of focused learning programmes 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, Accenture LearnVantage. He further added, “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.”
