Accenture Acquires TalentSprint to Boost LearnVantage’s Training Capabilities

Accenture has acquired TalentSprint, a deep tech education provider, from NSE Academy, a subsidiary of the National Stock Exchange of India. The move is aimed at strengthening Accenture LearnVantage’s efforts to help businesses and governments train talent for the future.

TalentSprint, founded in 2009 and based in Hyderabad, will now be a part of LearnVantage. Around 210 employees from TalentSprint, including its leadership, will now join Accenture. The company also has a presence in Sunnyvale, California.

With this acquisition, LearnVantage will expand its ability to deliver certification programmes and bootcamps that equip professionals with skills in areas such as AI, data science, cybersecurity, chip design, digital transformation, and leadership.

“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,” Kishore P Durg, global lead of Accenture LearnVantage said.

TalentSprint works closely with top Indian and global institutions, including IITs, IIMs, IIITs, and other research centres. Its programmes are tailored to meet industry demands and are delivered to learners at various career stages.

“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,” Anurag Bansal, managing director and CEO of TalentSprint, said. 

This deal follows Accenture’s previous investments in Udacity and Award Solutions, and is part of the company’s ongoing $1 billion commitment to build LearnVantage into a major global learning and training platform.
