What LIFT Academy LLP does

LIFT Academy LLP is an NSDC-affiliated training and skilling solutions provider founded in 2016 and headquartered in the Mumbai–Thane region of India, operating with a small core team of approximately 7 employees. The company delivers vocational training and certification across three verticals: Logistics (forklift operator, reach truck operator, warehouse operations across Picker, Packer, Binner, Kitter/Labeller, Inventory Clerk and Warehouse Supervisor roles), Hospitality and Facilities Management (housekeeping attendant/supervisor and multi-skilled technician), and Employability Skills (the proprietary Service Excellence Model built on SELF, WORKPLACE, and VALUES AT WORK modules). Training is delivered through three channels: on-site at client facilities across India, at the Navi Mumbai academy facility, and via self-paced online courses for forklift safety certification.

The company holds dual regulatory affiliations — Logistics Skill Council (LSC) and Tourism and Hospitality Skill Council (THSC) — under India's National Skills Development Corporation (NSDC), and is the only certified pan-India centre for Reach Truck Operator training under the Central Government's PMKVY (Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana) Scheme. Its flagship enterprise engagements include training 4,668 Mahindra Logistics warehouse operators pan-India, an empanelled training partnership with Godrej Properties for facility management at residential complexes, and a knowledge partnership with Integron Human Capital Services enabling end-to-end mobilization, training, and staffing solutions. The company is promoted by Revival Engineers, a 35-year MHE supply and maintenance operator.

Revenue is generated through professional services pricing, including per-person unit pricing (₹4,500 per person for the 15-day forklift operator program), multi-year enterprise contracts, and government-affiliated free certification pathways under livelihood initiatives. GTM is primarily enterprise field sales targeting logistics operators, property developers, and hospitality groups, supplemented by self-serve online acquisition for individual learners. Pricing for hospitality courses runs at 240 hours with a 20:80 theory-to-practice ratio.
