Indian IT services company Hexaware Technologies has acquired UK-based Consulting Professionals Services Holdings Limited (CPS) in a deal valued at up to ₹139.7 crore, strengthening its global consulting, AI, cloud transformation, and enterprise technology services capabilities. The acquisition further expands Hexaware’s strategic footprint across the United Kingdom and Europe. CPS is a specialised technology consulting and professional services company that works with large enterprise clients, including FTSE 100 firms, across governance, risk management, compliance, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and digital transformation projects. The company has built strong capabilities in high-value consulting services for regulated industries and complex enterprise environments. Hexaware stated that the acquisition will help accelerate its AI-led digital transformation strategy while expanding delivery capabilities in consulting-intensive technology projects. The company is increasingly focusing on generative AI, cloud-native services, enterprise automation, cybersecurity, and data-driven transformation solutions for global clients. Industry analysts note that Indian IT firms are rapidly moving beyond traditional outsourcing models toward higher-margin consulting, AI engineering, cloud advisory, and strategic transformation services. Acquisitions like CPS provide stronger on-ground consulting capabilities and closer access to enterprise clients in Europe and North America. The acquisition also reflects growing demand among European enterprises for AI-enabled digital transformation, regulatory technology modernisation, cyber resilience, and hybrid cloud adoption. Hexaware aims to leverage CPS’s expertise to deepen its presence in sectors including banking, financial services, insurance, healthcare, telecommunications, and public-sector technology. India’s technology sector continues to strengthen its role as a global digital transformation partner, with Indian firms increasingly competing against multinational consulting and enterprise technology giants through AI-driven innovation, engineering services, and scalable cloud solutions. Industry discussions across enterprise technology communities have highlighted that acquisitions focused on AI consulting, governance, cloud transformation, and cybersecurity are likely to accelerate further as enterprises modernise infrastructure and prepare for large-scale generative AI adoption. The deal further strengthens Europe-India technology collaboration while reinforcing the UK’s importance as a strategic growth market for Indian IT and digital transformation companies.
