Key takeaways
- A straightforward LMS rollout runs six to eight weeks; one integrated with HR and reporting takes three to five months.
- Most projects we quote fall between ₹5 lakh and ₹40 lakh, roughly $6,000 to $50,000, fixed price for a defined scope.
- Reading the employee list from your existing HR system means you are not maintaining two directories — and it is the biggest influence on the timeline.
- An off-the-shelf LMS is often cheaper. A build earns its cost when your course structure, certification rules or reporting do not fit a product.

Learning management systems: questions we get asked
How long does an LMS take to deploy?
A straightforward LMS rollout runs six to eight weeks. One that has to authenticate against your existing HR system, pull in an employee hierarchy and report into a data warehouse is a larger business system and takes three to five months.
What does an LMS cost to build?
Most projects we quote fall between ₹5 lakh and ₹40 lakh, roughly $6,000 to $50,000, as a fixed price for a defined scope, or a monthly rate for ongoing work. Where you land depends mostly on how many existing systems it has to talk to.
Should I buy an off-the-shelf LMS instead?
Often, yes, and it is worth asking us before you commission anything. A custom LMS earns its cost when your course structure, certification rules or reporting obligations do not fit a product, or when it has to sit inside systems you already run. If none of that is true, a product is cheaper.
Can an LMS work with the HR system we already have?
Yes, and it usually should. Reading the employee list and reporting line from your existing HR system means you are not maintaining two directories. That integration is also the single biggest influence on how long the project takes.
Who owns the LMS once it is built?
You do. On software we build for a client, the client owns the intellectual property.
