Board of Directors

Rahul Arora
Chairman and CEO

Rahul Arora is Chairman and CEO of MPS Limited. Under his leadership, MPS has significantly diversified its business interests, transitioning from being an India-based content services provider to a global market leader in content, learning, and platform solutions. Today, MPS is powered by more than 2,500 professionals across seven delivery centers in India, three subsidiaries in Europe, and five client offices in North America. Rahul is an authentic leader who takes pride in shaping MPS’ agility and swiftly adapting to rapidly evolving market dynamics.

Rahul joined MPS in Noida, India, in August 2012 as Chief Marketing Officer and managed the growth of MPS from ~USD 20 Million to ~USD 60 Million in Revenues from FY13 to FY21. Much of the MPS growth story during this period was inorganic, and each acquisition was unlocked for tremendous synergies enhancing the long-term competitive advantage of MPS. Rahul relocated to the US in early 2013 to jump-start the first wave of US-based acquisitions (2013-15) via a newly established subsidiary called MPS North America LLC. After a successful QIP process in 2015 through which MPS raised ~USD 25 Million, Rahul was promoted by the Board of Directors to lead the diversification agenda as CEO of MPS. The acquisitions of Magplus and THINK in 2016 and 2017 supported the growth of the Platform Solutions business segment launched in 2015. The acquisition of Tata Interactive Systems in 2018 marked MPS’ definitive entry in the Corporate Learning Solutions marketplace and the forming of a third business segment – eLearning solutions.

Rahul now leads the Transform, Innovate, Maximize, and Elevate strategy in its newest phase of expansion, titled Time to Thrive. The acquisition of HighWire Press in July 2020 has ensured that MPS can now approach its evolution as a platform-led business that is unified by a mission to help Make Learning Smarter. And most importantly, glued together by the Triple E values of Excellence, Empathy, and Efficiency.

A Bachelor’s of Science graduate with concentrations in Economics and Entrepreneurship from Babson College (Class of 2007), with a full-time MBA with majors in Marketing and Strategy from the Indian School of Business (Class of 2011), Rahul completed the Advanced Management Program from the Wharton School, the University of Pennsylvania in 2017.
