NIIT USA Inc., a subsidiary of India-based NIIT Learning Systems Limited (NLSL), has approved a $13 million (€12.1 million) investment in StackRoute Learning Inc (SLI), a US-based managed learning services provider. The funding includes $9 million (€8.4 million) in equity to replace existing loans and $4 million (€3.7 million) for growth and working capital.

StackRoute Learning focuses on higher-education programs in AI, cybersecurity, cloud computing, and data science bootcamps. NIIT USA plans to leverage SLI’s capabilities to expand corporate learning offerings, including employee onboarding, upskilling, and reskilling. The investment positions NIIT USA to enhance client services in rapidly evolving technology areas while maintaining operational efficiency across the group.

The funding comes with standard regulatory approvals and is not expected to materially affect NLSL’s consolidated financials. Post-investment, SLI will remain a wholly owned subsidiary of NIIT USA and a step-down subsidiary of NLSL.

This strategic move strengthens NIIT USA’s presence in the US corporate education market and broadens the reach of its technology-focused learning solutions. SLI’s expertise enables tailored programmes for enterprise clients, addressing the growing demand for digital and tech-driven skills in higher education and professional environments.

The partnership demonstrates the increasing integration of academic expertise with corporate learning, helping companies upskill staff efficiently while supporting career development in specialised technology fields.
