It is true under the assumption $k,d\to+\infty$ while $k/d\to 0$, in the sense that $R^T\in R^{d\times k}$ has obviously iid $N(0,1)$ entries, and satisfies $$ \|\sqrt d R^+ - R^T/\sqrt d\|_{op} \to^P 0. $$ First let us recall some well known concentration inequalities for the smallest and largest singular values of $R$, namely $$ P( \sqrt{d} - \sqrt{k} - t \le s_{\min}(R) \le s_{\max}(R) = \|R\|_{op} \le \sqrt d + \sqrt k + t) \le 2e^{-t^2/2}. $$ if $k/d\to 0$, one can for instance use $t=\sqrt{\log(d)}$ to obtain that $s_{\min}(R)/\sqrt d\to^P 1$ and similarly $\|R\|_{op}/\sqrt d\to ^P 1$. Let us now explain why $\|\sqrt d R^+ - R^T/\sqrt d\|_{op} \to^P 0$. Consider the SVD $R=UDV^T$. Then the pseudo-inverse is $R^+ = VD^{=1} U^T$ and \begin{align*} \|\sqrt d R^+ - R^T/\sqrt d\|_{op} &=\|U(\sqrt d D^{-1} - d^{-1/2} D)V\|_{op} \\&=\|\sqrt d D^{-1} - d^{-1/2} D\|_{op} \\&\le \|\sqrt d D^{-1} -I_k\|_{op} + \|I_k - d^{-1/2} D\|_{op}. \end{align*} If $k/d\to 0$, the right-hand side converges to 0 in an event of probability at least $1-2/p$ by taking $t=\sqrt{\log d}$ in the above concentration inequality.
