What RPS Consulting does

RPS Consulting Pvt. Ltd., founded in 2006 and headquartered in Bangalore, India, is an enterprise IT training and certification provider operating as a majority-owned subsidiary of NIIT Ltd (acquired October 2021). The company delivers certified training across cloud, cybersecurity, data, infrastructure, and emerging AI/Generative AI domains through 2,000+ programs authored by 1,153+ subject matter experts. Its curriculum is anchored by 35+ authorized OEM partnerships — including Google Cloud, AWS, Microsoft, Red Hat, VMware, Cisco, Oracle, ServiceNow, and CompTIA — providing access to official certification content and co-marketing channels.

The company operates a multi-modal delivery stack: instructor-led classroom training at six Indian hubs (Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Delhi, Pune, Mumbai), virtual instructor-led training (VILT), onsite corporate programs, and a self-paced Digital Academy (learning.rpsconsulting.in) with 24x7 lab access. Revenue is generated through per-course and per-program fees billed to enterprise clients (288+ GCCs, GSIs, and large enterprises), certification exam fees, and customized workforce transformation engagements; pricing is quote-based with pay-as-you-go cadence.

In 2026, RPS Consulting was integrated with NIIT's StackRoute venture into a unified Enterprise Tech business led by Dr. Vishnupriya Raghavan, repositioning the company from a pure training delivery model toward higher-value AI governance, deployment strategy, and CXO-level workforce transformation services. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001 certifications, and was awarded the EcoVadis Silver Medal in 2026 for sustainability performance. Notable enterprise clients include Wells Fargo, Bank of America, HSBC, Societe Generale, Wipro, TCS, Infosys, Cognizant, Capgemini, Accenture, IBM, HCL, Ericsson, Vodafone, AstraZeneca, and GE.
