History

edit

In the year 2000, TeamLease was established under the name India Life Chakravarti Actuarial Services Private Limited[4] by its founders, Manish Sabharwal and Ashok Reddy.[6] The company later changed its name to TeamLease Services Private Limited in 2002.[2]

By 2006, TeamLease had a workforce of over 30,000 associates. In 2009, the company secured funding amounting to $500 million.[7] In 2010, TeamLease made an acquisition, taking over IIJT, an IT company based in Navi Mumbai with a network of 120 centers across India.[2] In 2011, the company received investments worth $250 million and became a founding member of the Indian Staffing Federation, an organization for India's Flexi staffing sector.[8][9][10]

TeamLease established a partnership with the Government of Gujarat to set up a private university.[11] This collaboration led to the establishment of TLSU as a university under the Gujarat Private Universities Act in 2013.[11][12] Classes at the university commenced in 2014.[13] TeamLease also initiated a project involving a partnership between the public and private sectors for apprenticeship (NETAP).[14]

In 2015, the company rebranded itself to TeamLease Services Limited and became a public company.[4] It operates from nine regional offices and employs around 2.82 lakh people.[15] TeamLease holds a 6 percent market share in the domestic flexi-staffing industry.[16][2] In 2016, TeamLease raised Rs 190 crore by issuing shares to 15 anchor investors, including Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch.[17][2]

Acquisition

edit

In 2016, TeamLease expanded its business into the IT staffing sector by purchasing ASAP Infosystems[18] and Nichepro Technologies for Rs 67 crore and Rs 29.5 crore respectively.[19] These companies were later integrated into TeamLease's Digital division.

In January 2017, TeamLease completed the purchase of Keystone, acquiring 100 percent of its shares for ₹8.2 crores in cash through TeamLease Staffing, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TeamLease.[20]

During the same year, TeamLease entered the Telecom staffing domain by acquiring Evolve Technologies[21] and also obtained a 40% stake in Schoolguru.[22]

In November 2021, TeamLease increased its ownership stake in Avantis to 61.5% and rebranded it as TeamLease Regtech.[23] The company also rebranded Schoolguru as TL EdTech, Avantis as TL RegTech, and E-Hire as TL HRTech.[22]
