Strength through diversification
The vision of NIIT Technologies is to be the ‘First Choice’ of customers in its chosen verticals. The Company’s simple strategy of focussing and differentiating has enabled it to compete on the strength of its specialisation. The revenue profile of the Company is diversified across the three main geographic areas of EMEA, America and Asia Pacific. Such diversification across geographies, has helped NIIT Technologies in avoiding the risk of single geography.

NIIT Technologies has started diversifying into newer verticals as a thrust area for future growth.
