Chowdary said, "We are delighted to receive a coveted NSDC award for the second time in two years. This award is a recognition of our differentiated approach to skill development and our ongoing commitment towards making young graduates employable and industry-ready. We remain steadfast in our intent to skill 500,000 trainees across the country by 2020, through a unique combination of contact, virtual, and experiential learning".

Mr. Dilip Chenoy, CEO and MD of the NSDC, remarked, "We are pleased to recognize TalentSprint for their continuous innovation in the field of skill development. They have been pushing the limits of blended learning for quite some time to achieve greater scale with quality, and their focus on combining conventional and new methods of training is commendable. We wish them the best in meeting and exceeding their skill development goals in the years to come."
