WNS Finalizes Acquisition by Capgemini

10/17/2025 – 02:15 AM

NEW YORK, LONDON & MUMBAI, India — WNS (Holdings) Limited (NYSE: WNS), a player in digital-led business transformation, is now officially part of Capgemini S.E. (EURONEXT PARIS: CAP). The deal, first announced on July 6, 2025, closed today, with Capgemini acquiring all outstanding shares of WNS for $76.50 per share. The total cash consideration reached $3.3 billion, excluding WNS’s net financial debt.

Trading of WNS shares on the New York Stock Exchange ceased effective today, October 17, 2025, marking the end of an era for the company as a publicly traded entity.

“We are eager to embark on this new journey, joining forces with Capgemini to establish a global powerhouse and revolutionize the industry with generative and agentic AI,” stated Keshav R. Murugesh, CEO of WNS. “The future of business transformation lies in intelligent, domain and industry-specific operations. By harnessing hyper-automation, we will deliver unprecedented efficiency and agility, leading to superior business outcomes. Our shared values and culture will ensure a smooth integration process, unlocking tremendous opportunities and creating long-term value for our clients, employees, partners, and communities.”

Aiman Ezzat, CEO of Capgemini, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the alignment of the two companies: “Capgemini and WNS share a common vision regarding the transformative potential of agentic AI in revolutionizing our clients’ business operations. By combining Capgemini’s global reach, strategic capabilities, technological prowess, and AI leadership with WNS’s deep industry expertise and specialized platforms, we are uniquely positioned to empower our clients to reinvent their end-to-end business processes and emerge as leaders in their respective markets. We can now move forward in building together a global leader in Intelligent Operations. I am delighted to welcome WNS’ employees to the Group.”

The acquisition strategically bolsters Capgemini’s position in the rapidly evolving business process services (BPS) landscape. WNS brings a wealth of expertise in key verticals, including healthcare, insurance, banking, and financial services. The move aligns with Capgemini’s broader strategy of expanding its capabilities in intelligent automation and AI-powered solutions. Analysts at Gartner have noted that the demand for AI-driven automation in BPS is surging, driven by enterprises seeking enhanced efficiency, improved decision-making, and better customer experiences. This acquisition allows Capgemini to capitalize on this trend by integrating WNS’s established platform and domain expertise into its existing service offerings.

The deal also reflects the increasing consolidation within the BPS market. As companies face mounting pressure to optimize operations and embrace digital transformation, they are turning to larger, more comprehensive service providers capable of delivering end-to-end solutions. Capgemini’s acquisition of WNS positions it as a formidable competitor in this consolidating market. The integration poses potential challenges, including harmonizing disparate IT systems and management structures. However, both companies have expressed confidence in a seamless transition, citing cultural alignment as a key factor.

Shareholders of WNS will receive settlement as outlined in the scheme circular published by WNS on July 30, 2025. Beneficial holders should contact their brokers for payment processing. Registered shareholders will receive payment from the paying agent upon submission of a completed letter of transmittal, which will be sent around the closing date.

Further details regarding the acquisition can be found in the company’s Form 8-K filing with the SEC.
