TalentSprint is a new-age digital platform to transform the lives of young and experienced professionals. Its hybrid boot camps empower professionals with high-end disruptive technologies.

Funded by Nexus Venture Partners and the National Skill Development Corporation, TalentSprint aims to empower over a million professionals by 2020.

One of the programme directors, Indranil Bose said:

“A vast majority of firms in the banking and financial sector believe that the lack of adequate FinTech talent is an existential threat to their future. We plan to equip and enable 2000 FinTech professionals in the next few years.”
