NSE Academy Limited (NAL), a wholly owned subsidiary of the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd., has entered into a strategic collaboration with HCLTech, a globally recognized technology company, to prepare the next generation of professionals for the rapidly evolving digital economy. This partnership focuses on launching a series of joint certification programs that combine finance, fintech, data, and advanced technologies to address emerging skill gaps across the banking, insurance, financial services, and fintech sectors.
As digital transformation continues to reshape global financial ecosystems, organizations increasingly seek talent that blends domain expertise with technological proficiency. Recognizing this shift, NSE Academy and HCLTech have designed this collaboration to deliver future-ready learning programs across India and the Middle East and South Asia (MESA) region. Through this initiative, students, working professionals, universities, and enterprises will gain access to industry-aligned certifications that reflect real-world business and technology requirements.
Moreover, the partnership brings together the complementary strengths of both organizations. NSE Academy contributes its deep expertise in financial markets, fintech education, and professional certifications, while HCLTech adds its extensive experience in digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and enterprise technology. Together, they aim to create ready-to-deploy learning programs that merge finance and fintech curricula with data, AI, and cybersecurity capabilities.
Importantly, learners at different career stages will benefit from these offerings. University students can build strong foundational knowledge aligned with industry needs, while working professionals can reskill or upskill to stay competitive in a fast-changing job market. The programs will cover a wide range of high-demand areas, including fintech, banking, capital markets, risk management, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, analytics, and data engineering. These courses will be delivered through HCLTech’s Career Shaper™ platform, ensuring a modern, digital-first learning experience.
In addition, the collaboration will support universities and organizations by enabling seamless integration of these programs into academic curricula and corporate learning and development initiatives. This approach helps institutions align education with industry expectations, while also ensuring learners gain practical, job-relevant skills. Furthermore, specialized programs tailored specifically for the BFSI sector will focus on AI-driven innovation and digital transformation, helping organizations future-proof their workforce.
By launching professional credentials in areas such as digital finance, fintech, analytics, cybersecurity, ethics, governance, and artificial intelligence, the partnership directly responds to the growing demand for hybrid professionals who can navigate both financial systems and advanced technologies. As a result, this initiative plays a critical role in strengthening the talent pipeline for the digital financial economy.
