Hero Mindmine, part of the over USD 2 billion Hero Group, one of India’s premier and leading organizations providing Training & development solutions, is pioneering off shoring of training solutions with its foray into the international market.

As part of its international foray, the company has signed an agreement to train Oman nationals for a period of one year in the area of customer service, sales and communication skills. It has also signed an MoU with the Saud Bahwan Group of Oman to grow the training services market in GCC countries including the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait etc

Commenting on this development, Mr. Asheesh Gupta, Head, Hero Mindmine, said, “Our aim is to become a training powerhouse in Asia Pacific by the year 2007, a single partner to our clients for all learning and development needs be it training delivery, content development, training consulting and assessment & measurement. With our foray into International market, we are very confident of achieving this goal.”

The company also has aggressive plans to offshore its training consulting and content development services in developed markets such as US & UK. In a recently conducted study by ASTD, the Fortune 500 companies spend as much as $200 million annually on learning and development. Out of this 55 percent of the expenditure goes into content design and administration. “The content design and administration market offers huge potential in developed markets and we are very keen on tapping it as it gives us first mover advantage,” said Mr. Gupta.

A leading company in UK has already outsourced training consulting and development services to Hero Mindmine. Under this service, company will develop learning and knowledge management strategy and plans to support organization strategy. Content development will focus on creating customized training solutions and material for in-company as well as third party development by clients; or redesign existing training; integrate e-Learning with organization’s training strategy, processes and learning management systems; dedicate associates and provide extensive expertise in Instructional system design, ILT, CBT, WBT and distance learning.
