Capgemini acquires WNS for $3.3 billion. The technology company aims to strengthen its position in digital business processes and prepare for the growing demand for agent-based AI solutions.
Capgemini is going to acquire WNS. The company hopes to significantly expand its activities in Digital Business Process Services (BPS) with the acquisition. Capgemini is paying $76.50 per WNS share, which represents a premium of seventeen to 28 percent over the average price.
The total amount of the acquisition, excluding debt, is $3.3 billion. Both boards of directors have approved the deal. Completion is expected by the end of this year, pending approval from shareholders and regulators.
With WNS, Capgemini brings in a global player active in digital transformation and business processes. WNS serves clients in eight sectors and achieved a turnover of $1.27 billion in 2025. The company has approximately 64,000 people on the payroll. The acquisition should immediately contribute to Capgemini’s revenue growth.
Focus on AI Agents
According to Capgemini, AI agents and generative AI will cause a structural shift in how companies organize their processes. By combining WNS’s expertise in sector-specific AI solutions with its own advisory and technology capabilities, Capgemini aims to respond to the demand for end-to-end automated processes. The company also expects benefits from cross-pollination between clients and services of both parties.
According to Capgemini, the integration of WNS should be simple due to cultural similarities. Given the size of the acquisition, that process will take some time. For comparison: Capgemini had a turnover of $22.1 billion in 2024 and employs 341,000 people.
With the deal, Capgemini is strengthening its presence on the American market and increasing its share for digital business services. It sees AI-driven Intelligent Operations as a strategic growth market, in which companies are increasingly striving for autonomous processes instead of mere automation.
