Why Indian IT firms are ramping up acquisitions
Indian IT giants like TCS, Infosys, and Wipro are snapping up other companies to stay sharp as revenue growth slows in 2025.
Moves like TCS's $700 million Coastal Cloud acquisition show how these firms want to level up their cloud and tech services to keep pace with changing demands.
What's behind the buying spree?
Acquisitions help these companies shift from old-school, headcount-heavy work to smarter, high-value projects—think more cloud and AI.
But making all the pieces fit isn't easy. Sanchit Vir Gogia from Greyhound Research points out that smooth integration is key: when acquisitions are tightly integrated into the core they strengthen portfolio, but if not, they have led to write downs and leadership churn.
Most of the real payoff may show up by 2026 as these firms adjust to what clients need next.
