About Skillpromise
Founded in 2017, Skillpromise.com, a part of Sana Skillpromise Education Private Limited, was established with a vision to bridge the gap between academic learning and industry expectations through practical, research-driven, and high-impact learning experiences.
Skillpromise began its journey in the education and employability space by partnering with leading management and higher education institutions across India, including IMT Hyderabad, IMT Ghaziabad, MICA Ahmedabad, BIMTech Greater Noida, Myra School of Business Mysore, and several others. During the early years, the organization focused extensively on placement preparation for students preparing to enter the corporate world.
Alongside its academic initiatives, Skillpromise also entered the corporate capability development ecosystem through a large-scale assessment collaboration with CPM India for L’Oréal. The project involved conducting assessments for both on-roll and off-roll sales professionals, marking Skillpromise’s early exposure to large corporate interventions and workforce evaluation programs. The following testimonial from the CEO highlights the impact and effectiveness of the assessment initiative conducted by Skillpromise.
Hitesh Kakkar
CEO, CPM India
“CPM India has been working with Sana Skillpromise Education Private Limited for assessment of our sales staff deployed for managing sales of one of the leading cosmetics and beauty brands in the country. The assessment tool called ‘Skillpromise Assessment and Need Analysis (SANA)’ is very customizable and effective. We have completed 1400+ assessments using SANA. The tool has enabled us to not only, monitor and track but also to build a robust framework for continued training and capability engagement with the on-ground sales team which is deployed in over 600 retail stores in 50+ cities in the country.”
Between 2019 and 2023, Skillpromise trained and groomed more than 5000 students across multiple institutions through structured placement preparation initiatives while simultaneously building its technology-enabled learning ecosystem and Learning Management System (LMS) infrastructure. The following testimonials and feedback from various colleges reflect the impact and effectiveness of Skillpromise’s training and capability development programs.

“Skillpromise conducted a comprehensive training program for the students of IMT Hyderabad with a strong focus on interview preparation, professional grooming, and corporate readiness. The program played a significant role in helping students prepare themselves for placements and secure opportunities with leading organizations across industries. The students gained immensely from the structured learning approach, practical insights, and professionally delivered sessions. The program was appreciated for being well-designed, highly relevant, and impactful in enhancing both employability skills and overall professional confidence. Beyond placements, the initiative also contributed meaningfully towards preparing students for the expectations and challenges of the corporate world. Overall, the program proved to be a highly successful and valuable intervention for the students as well as the institution.”
Madhu Mohan TS
Head-Corporate Relations, MICA Ahmedabad
“I am writing this testimonial to express my appreciation for the placement preparation training provided by Sana Skillpromise Education Private Limited. As the Head - Career Services, I have had the opportunity to witness the transformation in our students' confidence and skills after participating in this program. The comprehensive curriculum covers all aspects of the placement process, including resume writing, interview techniques, group discussions, guesstimates, and case study analysis. The trainers are highly knowledgeable and experienced professionals who go above and beyond to ensure that students receive the best guidance and support. LMS offered as a part of the training was found to be very useful by the students. Skillpromise maintains a seamless flow of information, promptly addresses queries, and provides continuous support to the students. Our first-year students saw 100% internship placements and second year students saw 100% final statements. I highly recommend Sana Skillpromise Education Private Limited for their exceptional placement preparation training.”
As the Skillpromise Placement Preparation Program evolved into a robust learning platform, the organization expanded strongly into corporate learning and leadership development. Skillpromise became the training vendor for Nippon Paints & Automotives and launched QUEST — a flagship capability development program for individual contributors comprising 17 modules spread across three months. The program focused on workplace competencies like Intrapreneurship, Time Management, Dealing with Ambiguity, Creativity at work, AI and Power BI, Finance for Non-Finance Professionals, EI and Mindfulness, Execution Excellence, and more. Skillpromise has successfully completed four phases of QUEST for the Automotive Refinish business of Nippon Paint, India.
Building on the success of QUEST, Skillpromise was subsequently entrusted with developing leadership capability programs for managers and team leaders. This led to the launch of PACE in 2023–24, a dedicated managerial and leadership effectiveness program designed to strengthen people management, execution capability, communication, and leadership skills. Skillpromise has successfully completed four phases of QUEST for the Automotive Refinish business of Nippon Paint, India.
In 2024, Skillpromise also executed a multi-module skills development program for Sandipani Vidyaniketan. The program was delivered in both English and Hindi, marking Skillpromise’s first major bilingual execution of a structured skills development initiative and expanding its capability in multilingual learning delivery.
In 2025, Skillpromise expanded internationally with LEAP — a management development program conducted in Thailand for Nippon Paints teams in the Thai language. LEAP represented a significant milestone in Skillpromise’s journey, showcasing its ability to design and deliver localized, culturally aligned global learning interventions. The following are glimpses and highlights from the QUEST, PACE, and LEAP programs conducted by Skillpromise across India and Thailand.
Here is what our client, Nippon Paint India, has to say about Skillpromise and the impact of the QUEST, PACE, and LEAP programs:

Today, all Skillpromise corporate training programs are supported through a comprehensive Learning Management System (LMS), enabling participants to seamlessly access module-wise learning content, videos, assignments, assessments, and performance tracking dashboards throughout the learning journey.
As Skillpromise moves into 2026, the organization continues to strengthen its impact across educational institutions and corporate ecosystems with upcoming phases of QUEST, PACE, and LEAP. In addition, Skillpromise is launching NAVIGATE — a specialized strategic leadership development initiative designed for senior leadership teams responsible for driving organizational growth and transformation.
With a strong blend of academic insight, corporate understanding, technology-enabled learning, and practical execution, Skillpromise continues its mission of empowering individuals and organizations through industry-relevant, high-quality, and impactful learning experiences that drive long-term professional growth and organizational excellence.
