In a strategic step aimed at broadening its global learning footprint, NIIT Learning Systems, a global leader in managed training services, has announced the acquisition of MST Group, a prominent German learning solutions provider. This acquisition is expected to deepen NIIT MTS’ presence in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) and bring enhanced capabilities, clientele, and service offerings to its European portfolio.
NIIT MTS completed the acquisition through its wholly owned subsidiary, NIIT (Ireland) Limited, for €22.37 million, subject to customary adjustments. MST Group, founded in 2009, employs over 100 professionals across Germany and Hungary and brings with it seven leading clients in the automotive, industrial, and energy sectors. This brings NIIT MTS’ total managed training services (MTS) clientele to over 100.
Commenting on the development, Sapnesh Lalla, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director at NIIT MTS, stated, “This strategic combination brings together MST Group's established leadership and deep sector expertise in the automotive, industrial and energy sectors with NIIT's global reach and comprehensive, AI-enabled, end-to-end managed learning & consulting services. Together, we will accelerate growth by combining regional excellence with global innovation and offer an expanded portfolio of services and domain expertise.”
MST’s addition enriches NIIT MTS’ service suite with QuickStart Learning Academies, powered by MST’s proprietary exTra platform. These academies enable agile and customised learning models tailored for large global enterprises. Furthermore, Hungary will now serve as a nearshore capability centre, providing multilingual, on-site learning support for Western Europe.
Lena Jentsch, CEO of MST Group, remarked, “We are excited to join forces with NIIT MTS to expand our impact and capabilities across the globe. Our shared commitment to excellence turbocharges growth opportunities for our business by offering best-in-class, AI-powered, global managed learning services to our clients.”
Vijay K. Thadani, Vice Chairman & Managing Director of NIIT MTS, added, “MST Group is a significant addition to NIIT MTS’ family and marks a major next step in our global expansion strategy. Together, we’re setting out to reshape how companies achieve learning effectiveness at scale through future-ready managed learning services platforms.”
