About Coforge
Coforge originated as NIIT Technologies, the software services arm of the Indian computer training pioneer NIIT Limited. It was spun off as an independent entity in 2004. Unlike broad-based IT giants, NIIT Technologies deliberately focused on a few specific verticals—namely Travel & Transportation and Insurance.
In 2019, Baring Private Equity Asia acquired a controlling stake in the company. In 2020, to signal a fresh start and a shift toward digital-first engineering, the company rebranded as Coforge. It is currently one of the fastest-growing mid-cap IT companies in India.
