“Enterprises are rapidly adopting Generative AI and Agentic AI to transform their operations end-to-end. Business Process Services will be the showcase for Agentic AI,” said Aiman Ezzat, CEO of Capgemini.
“Capgemini’s acquisition of WNS will provide the Group with the scale and vertical sector expertise to capture that rapidly emerging strategic opportunity created by the paradigm shift from traditional BPS to Agentic AI-powered Intelligent Operations,” added Ezzat.
Strategic Value: AI-Driven BPS at Scale
WNS, headquartered in India, has built a strong reputation in Digital Business Process Services (BPS) with a vertical-specific focus across eight industries, including banking, insurance, travel, and utilities. It brings long-term contracts, platform-driven service models, and a global delivery footprint to the Capgemini portfolio.
The deal expands Capgemini’s presence in North America, boosts its consulting-plus-operations capabilities, and provides immediate cross-sell potential across complementary client bases.
“As a recognised leader in the Digital Business Process Services space, we see the next wave of transformation being driven by intelligent, domain-centric operations that unlock strategic value for our clients,” said Keshav R. Murugesh, CEO of WNS.
“By combining our deep domain and process expertise with Capgemini’s global reach, cutting-edge Gen AI and Agentic AI capabilities, a robust partner ecosystem, and advanced technology platforms, we are creating a powerful proposition that accelerates enterprise reinvention,” added Murugesh.
WNS currently serves a roster of major clients including United Airlines, Aviva, M&T Bank, Centrica, and McCain Foods, delivering high-value services through automation platforms and AI-enabled analytics.
Financial Highlights and Outlook
Capgemini expects the acquisition to be EPS accretive by 4% in 2026, and by 7% in 2027 post-synergies. The integration of WNS is expected to accelerate Capgemini’s growth in Intelligent Operations, a segment increasingly viewed as strategic for enterprise efficiency and agility.
The combined capabilities will allow Capgemini to address a growing demand for domain-led, AI-powered BPS, helping clients move from legacy systems to fully autonomous operating models.
“Capgemini is the right strategic partner at the right time in WNS’ journey,” said Timothy L. Main, Chairman of the WNS Board. “This combination creates a unique value proposition that spans consulting, technology, and operations — all underpinned by AI.”
