Capgemini SE, a global leader in business and technology transformation, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire WNS (Holdings) Limited, a top-tier digital-led business process services (BPS) provider, in an all-cash deal valued at $3.3 billion. Under the agreement, Capgemini will purchase WNS shares at $76.50 per share, representing a 28% premium over its 90-day average share price and marking a strategic consolidation in the rapidly evolving Agentic AI and intelligent operations domain.

This acquisition is set to immediately enhance Capgemini’s revenue growth and operating margin, with projected earnings per share (EPS) accretion of 4% in 2026 and 7% by 2027, post-synergies. The deal has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both Capgemini and WNS and is expected to close by the end of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

Aiman Ezzat, CEO of Capgemini, emphasised the strategic importance of the acquisition:

“Business Process Services is set to become a critical showcase for Agentic AI. With this acquisition, Capgemini will be uniquely positioned to lead in Intelligent Operations—blending deep industry and process expertise with advanced technology and AI capabilities to enable clients’ end-to-end transformation journeys.”

WNS brings to Capgemini a robust Digital BPS portfolio, including horizontal and industry-specific services across key verticals such as BFSI, travel, utilities, and consumer goods. With revenues reaching $1.27 billion in FY2025 and an operating margin of 18.7%, WNS has demonstrated resilience, consistent growth, and high profitability. Its strategic partnerships with clients like United Airlines, Aviva, and Centrica highlight its strong market positioning.

Keshav R. Murugesh, CEO of WNS, remarked:

“The next wave of transformation is marked by intelligent, domain-centric operations. By joining forces with Capgemini, we are creating a powerful value proposition that will accelerate our clients’ transition to autonomy, unlocking superior strategic outcomes through AI-driven reinvention.”

Capgemini’s acquisition of WNS signifies a pivotal shift from traditional BPS models toward Agentic AI-powered Intelligent Operations, where autonomous systems can manage complex tasks and workflows with minimal human intervention. The move also significantly strengthens Capgemini’s presence in the U.S. market and expands its global footprint in digital operations.

Timothy L. Main, Chairman of WNS’ Board, added:

“Capgemini is the ideal partner to elevate WNS to its next phase. This deal represents an exciting opportunity to accelerate innovation, expand our global reach, and create long-term value for all stakeholders—clients, employees, and investors alike.”

To finance the transaction, Capgemini has arranged €4 billion in bridge financing, covering the cash consideration and WNS’s net financial debt. This strategic investment reinforces Capgemini’s ambition to lead the next generation of digital and AI-driven enterprise solutions.
