About Us

Throughout their vast corporate careers, the concept to focus on employee development was already ingrained in their minds. As people managers, they felt that employees’ skills development wasn’t aligned to business output and the process was fragmented and unmeasured.

They brainstormed about a solution that is intelligent and adaptive. The conclusion of that discussion was the creation of an organization which reflects their passion for innovation in Learning Tech.

Fast forward to today, Sproutlogix has grown tremendously over the years, the team has expanded, capabilities have been enhanced and the passion for innovation has multiplied. All of this has led Sproutlogix to be able to offer a cutting-edge, innovative solution that will redefine how businesses develop their employees.
