NIIT Learning Systems, Abodoo Partner to Deliver AI-Led Skills Intelligence for Global Enterprises
The collaboration brings together NIIT MTS’ four-decade legacy in managed learning services, consulting, and human capital management (HCM) technology with Abodoo’s advanced skills intelligence platform, creating a comprehensive, real-time approach to workforce transformation in an AI-driven economy.
New Delhi / Atlanta: As organizations worldwide grapple with rapid technological change, artificial intelligence disruption, and persistent talent shortages, NIIT Learning Systems Limited (NIIT MTS) has entered into a strategic partnership with Abodoo to deliver next-generation skills intelligence and workforce development solutions to global enterprises.
The collaboration brings together NIIT MTS’ four-decade legacy in managed learning services, consulting, and human capital management (HCM) technology with Abodoo’s advanced skills intelligence platform, creating a comprehensive, real-time approach to workforce transformation in an AI-driven economy.
Responding to a Skills-First Economy
The partnership is positioned against a backdrop of accelerating skills obsolescence, where traditional job-based workforce models are increasingly inadequate. Enterprises are under pressure to move toward skills-first strategies that can dynamically identify, measure, and develop capabilities aligned with evolving business needs.
Abodoo addresses this challenge through a live, interoperable skills layer that sits across learning, workforce, and talent systems. Powered by its proprietary SkillsAI engine and an ontology of more than 55,000 skills, the platform enables organizations to establish a common skills language across fragmented systems such as LMS, HRIS, ATS, and qualification frameworks.
By integrating this technology with NIIT MTS’ managed learning and consulting services, the partnership aims to help enterprises gain real-time visibility into skills supply and demand, close critical capability gaps, and build agile, future-ready workforces.
A Unified View of Skills Across the Enterprise
Unlike point solutions that replace existing HR or learning platforms, Abodoo’s infrastructure-led approach overlays existing systems, activating skills data rather than duplicating it. This allows enterprises to embed skills intelligence directly into their operational workflows without disrupting current technology investments.
Combined with NIIT MTS’ HCM technology expertise, the partnership will enable organizations to:
- Map and measure workforce skills in real time
- Identify current and future capability gaps
- Align learning investments with business outcomes
- Improve workforce agility and internal mobility
- Support AI-readiness and large-scale transformation initiatives
As part of the collaboration, NIIT MTS and Abodoo will also offer enterprises a Skills AI Readiness Report, designed to assess organizational preparedness for AI adoption and skills-based transformation.
Leadership Perspectives
Announcing the partnership, DJ Chadha, Chief Customer Officer at NIIT MTS, said the collaboration reflects a strategic shift in how organizations must think about talent development.
“Skills are the currency of the future, and this partnership marks a significant milestone in our commitment to workforce development,” Chadha said. “By combining our award-winning managed learning, consulting, and HCM technology services with Abodoo’s unique skills intelligence technology, we can transform skills development and close capability gaps across the enterprise at scale.”
From Abodoo’s perspective, the partnership represents an opportunity to move skills intelligence from analytics into execution.
“We’re delighted to partner with NIIT MTS to bring live skills intelligence into the heart of enterprise workforce transformation,” said Vanessa Wainwright, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Abodoo. “By combining Abodoo’s skills orchestration infrastructure with NIIT MTS’ deep consulting expertise, we can help organizations move beyond static job and qualification models to build agile, skills-first workforces at scale.”
Beyond Learning: Skills as Strategic Infrastructure
The collaboration reflects a broader shift in enterprise thinking, where skills are increasingly viewed as strategic infrastructure, not just an HR function. Leading organizations are now seeking continuous, data-driven insights into skills to inform decisions across hiring, reskilling, workforce planning, and AI adoption.
NIIT MTS and Abodoo plan to jointly engage the market through webinars, thought leadership, and client-facing initiatives focused on skills-first transformation, helping enterprises translate skills data into measurable business value.
