Capgemini Acquires WNS for $3.3 Billion to Boost Agentic AI and GenAI Capabilities




Capgemini has announced a $3.3 billion all-cash acquisition of India-based WNS, a global outsourcing and business process management firm. The acquisition, reported by Reuters, is aimed at strengthening Capgemini’s position in Agentic AI and Generative AI (GenAI) services to help businesses modernize through automation and intelligent technologies.

Under the agreement, Capgemini will pay $76.50 per share for WNS, a 17% premium over WNS's July 3 closing price, excluding existing debt.

Focus on Agentic AI and Business Transformation

With this deal, Capgemini aims to build a dedicated consulting arm that specializes in AI-driven business transformation, particularly in the area of Agentic AI—AI systems capable of making autonomous decisions. This move reflects the growing global demand for intelligent automation that can deliver productivity, agility, and innovation at scale.

"WNS brings high growth, strong margins, and resilience through its Digital Business Process Services," said Aiman Ezzat, CEO of Capgemini, adding that the deal will also increase Capgemini’s presence in the US market.

WNS Strengthens Capgemini’s Market Position

WNS currently serves over 600 clients across 13 countries, including major global brands such as Coca-Cola, T-Mobile, and United Airlines. Its expertise in BPO, analytics, and data-led solutions will be integrated into Capgemini’s broader AI and digital strategy.

Capgemini expects the acquisition to be financially accretive, projecting:

  • 4% EPS growth by 2026 (excluding synergies)
  • 7% EPS growth by 2027 (including synergies)

Importantly, Capgemini has confirmed that this deal will not impact its existing 2025 financial guidance.

Strategic Expansion in India

The acquisition follows another key development: Capgemini's partnership with Japan’s Dai-ichi Life Holdings to establish a Global Capability Centre (GCC) in India. This new center will support Dai-ichi’s IT and digital innovation goals, offering services in:

  • Software development
  • Infrastructure modernization
  • AI and data engineering
  • Cybersecurity and digital operations

India's growing tech talent pool remains central to Capgemini’s long-term digital strategy, as it continues investing in scalable, intelligent services globally.
