What MPS does

MPS Limited is a publicly listed Indian content technology and learning solutions company headquartered in Noida, operating for nearly 50 years across three reportable segments — Education Solutions, Research Solutions, and Corporate Learning — with a workforce of 1,001-5,000 employees and a wholly-owned US subsidiary (MPS North America LLC). Its core product is a suite of eight proprietary platforms (DigiCore, MPSTrak, mag+, ScholarStor, ScholarlyStats, MPSInsight, THINK360, and DigiRMS) that cover the publisher lifecycle from XML-based content creation and workflow automation through digital asset management, mobile publishing, COUNTER-compliant usage analytics, subscription order management, and rights management. These platforms are complemented by a professional services arm that delivers content authoring, digital transformation, accessibility compliance, and creative studio services to enterprise publishing clients.

MPS monetizes primarily through enterprise subscription licensing of its platforms and recurring professional services, with no public pricing — all engagements are custom-quoted on an annual cadence to global academic, scholarly, and educational publishers including Elsevier, Springer Nature, Cengage, Pearson, Wolters Kluwer, Wiley, and Oxford University Press. The company pursues a direct enterprise field sales motion (Request a Demo, regional selection) supplemented by product-led adoption of its self-implementable platforms and integrations with downstream channels such as HighWire Press (THINK365 distribution), Shutterstock (DigiRMS image licensing), and retailer APIs (Kobo, Amazon, iTunes via DigiCore).

In January 2026, MPS expanded into healthcare knowledge management by acquiring Unbound Medicine Inc. for $16.5 million, adding an AI-powered clinical decision-support and medical education platform serving 1,000+ healthcare facilities with 50+ evidence-based databases, 5 million annual clinical lookups, and a 97% customer retention rate. Management is targeting EBITDA margin expansion from approximately 14% to 30% by Q4 FY27 on the back of Unbound's higher-margin subscription economics. MPS is debt-free, returns substantial capital to shareholders (Rs 650 crore over 7 years, 5.0% dividend yield), and operates at a 40% ROCE with Q3 FY2026 revenue of Rs 182.5 crore.
