Capgemini To Acquire India's WNS For $3.3 Billion To Strengthen AI-Powered Business Services
Last Updated: Capgemini will pay $76.50 per share, representing a 17% premium over WNS's closing price on July 3, not including WNS's existing debt. In a significant move aimed at expanding its digital operations and AI capabilities, French IT major Capgemini on Monday said it would acquire India-based outsourcing firm WNS in an all-cash deal valued at $3.3 billion, according to a report by Reuters. Capgemini will pay $76.50 per share, representing a 17% premium over WNS's closing price on July 3, not including WNS's existing debt. The acquisition is expected to help Capgemini bolster its expertise in agentic AI, a category of artificial intelligence designed to function autonomously and support enterprise-wide transformation. 'This transaction is fully in line with our strategic ambition and will help us capitalise on the next wave of intelligent industry," said Aiman Ezzat, CEO of Capgemini. 'WNS brings… its high growth, margin accretive and resilient Digital Business Process Services… while further increasing our exposure to the US market." Capgemini's AI and Digital Strategy Capgemini said the deal will pave the way for building a specialised consulting business that enables clients to modernise operations using advanced AI technologies, especially Agentic AI, which focuses on autonomous decision-making systems. The company plans to make significant investments in this space to address the rising demand for AI-driven business transformation. WNS, which operates in the business process outsourcing (BPO) and data analytics space, currently serves more than 600 clients across 13 countries. Its client portfolio includes high-profile names such as Coca-Cola, T-Mobile, and United Airlines. Capgemini expects the acquisition to deliver an immediate boost to its revenue and operating margins. The company forecasts a 4% increase in earnings per share (EPS) by 2026 before synergies, and a 7% rise by 2027 once integration synergies are fully realised. Despite the scale of the deal, Capgemini clarified that its financial guidance for 2025 remains unchanged. Capgemini's Recent Collaboration With Japanese Firm The WNS acquisition follows Capgemini's recent collaboration with Japan's Dai-ichi Life Holdings. The two companies signed a multi-year partnership last month to establish a Global Capability Centre (GCC) in India. The upcoming GCC will support Dai-ichi Life's IT and digital transformation goals by leveraging India's skilled tech workforce. It will offer services ranging from **software development and infrastructure upgrades to AI solutions and cybersecurity**. With the WNS buyout and Dai-ichi partnership, Capgemini is doubling down on its presence in India — not just as a delivery hub, but as a core driver of its next phase of growth in digital and AI-led transformation

Chinese President Xi's move to share power, his absence from BRICS fuels speculation about his political future
Chinese President Xi Jinping, widely regarded as a leader for life, is beginning to delegate authority to key organs of the ruling Communist Party, a first in his over 12-year rule. Mr. Xi's move sparked speculation that he may be laying the groundwork for an orderly power transition or scaling back his role in preparation for possible retirement. Speculation about Mr. Xi's power transition was rife after state-run Xinhua news agency recently reported that the powerful 24-member Political Bureau of the ruling Communist Party of China (CPC) in its meeting on Jun 30 reviewed a set of new regulations on the work of the party's institutions. The meeting presided over by Mr. Xi himself stressed that the regulations will further standardise the establishment, responsibilities, and operations of the CPC Central Committee's decision-making, deliberative, and coordinating institutions. Such institutions should exercise more effective leadership and coordination over major tasks and focus on planning, discussing, and overseeing major tasks, the Xinhua report said. While the overseas Chinese dissident community in recent months was abuzz with speculation of a power struggle within the secretive and tightly controlled CPC, a China-based political analyst who spoke on condition of anonymity said the regulations on these party bodies could hint at preparations for Xi's retirement. 'The rules may be set up to regulate the bodies because it's a key time for power transition,' the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post on Sunday quoted the analyst as saying. Other experts, however, averred that Mr. Xi, regarded as the most powerful leader after CPC founder Mao Zedong, may be delegating some powers to focus on larger issues. 'It does seem that Xi might pay less attention to day-to-day details, which necessitates a policing mechanism to ensure that his policy priorities are still being carried out by lower-level officials,' Victor Shih, a specialist in Chinese elite politics and finance at the University of California San Diego, told the Post. Mr. Xi also skipped the BRICS summit being held in Rio de Janeiro from Sunday. This is the first time since he became President that he will be missing the summit of the emerging economies. Chinese Premier Li Qiang is heading China's delegation at the summit. Mr. Xi's move of delegating power comes amid U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff war disrupting China's $440 billion exports to America, besides major headwinds faced by the Chinese economy, with growth falling due to continued slowdown, and the collapse of the housing market, the mainstay of the economic growth. The crisis was exacerbated by the government's attempts to rein in the corporate sector and the unsuccessful zero COVID policy of shutting down Chinese cities during the height of the pandemic, resulting in the industry and business coming to a grinding halt. Since he took over power, becoming the General Secretary of the CPC in 2012, Mr. Xi, who was previously the Vice President, rapidly consolidated his power hold in the key power centres — the party, the presidency, and the powerful military as the Chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC) — the overall high command of Chinese armed forces. As he firmed up his grip over power structures, carrying out China's biggest anti-corruption campaign in which over a million officials were punished and dozens of top generals purged, Mr. Xi was declared as 'core leader' of the party, a designation that was conferred only on party founder Zedong. Later, the key rule of the President's term of two five-year terms was amended by the legislature, paving the way for him to get elected for an unprecedented third five-year term as the General Secretary of the Party in 2022 and as President of the country in the following year. All of Mr. Xi's predecessors retired after two five-year terms, while he continued in power with no term limits, earning him the label of President for life. Analysts say his plan to remain in power or share power was expected to unravel before or during the next five-year congress of the CPC to be held in 2027, by which time his third term will end.
