What Imarticus Learning does

Imarticus Learning Pvt. Ltd., founded in 2012 and headquartered in Mumbai, is a professional education and skilling company delivering job-oriented certification, postgraduate, and executive programs in finance, analytics, data science, technology, marketing, and management. The company serves three primary customer segments: fresh graduates and early-career professionals seeking placement assistance into banks and consulting firms, working professionals and executives pursuing career advancement through IIM/IIT/ISB co-branded executive education, and corporate enterprises seeking workforce training solutions. Through 20+ physical training centers across India plus a Dubai (UAE) presence and live online delivery, Imarticus combines classroom instruction with online learning. The company claims 100,000+ career transformations, 7,921 placements in FY2025, and a hiring partner network of 3,500+ organizations spanning global banks, consulting firms, and technology companies.

The core product portfolio includes the flagship Certified Investment Banking Operations Professional (CIBOP™) program with 36,000+ placements, the Postgraduate Financial Analysis Program, the Postgraduate Program in Data Science and Analytics with GenAI, and a comprehensive suite of professional certifications (CFA, US CPA, US CMA, FRM, ACCA) delivered in partnership with KPMG India. Executive programs are co-branded with premier Indian institutions including IIM Lucknow, IIM Calcutta, IIM Indore, IIM Nagpur, IIM Udaipur, IIM Raipur, IIM Visakhapatnam, IIT Roorkee, IIT Guwahati, IIT Mandi, ISB, and London Business School, plus London Business School. Technology infrastructure includes the StratOnBoard game-based learning platform (acquired February 2022) incorporating AI and simulations, and the Imarticus National Employability Test (INET) which generates AI-based skill reports.

The company does not publicly disclose pricing but mentions 100% job assurance on select flagship programs like CIBOP. Revenue streams include: (1) Professional Education Programs (job-oriented certifications), (2) Executive Education Programs (IIM/IIT co-branded), and (3) Corporate/Enterprise Training.

The company has raised approximately $3 million across two disclosed funding rounds (2016 BlinC Invest $1M; 2018 CBA Capital $2M), is preparing for a Rs 1,000 crore IPO in FY27, and has executed four acquisitions: StratOnBoard (Feb 2022), Skillenza (Jul 2022), Hero Mindmine (Apr 2023), and MyCaptain (May 2025).
