Transformative Vision Backed by Investors
Keshav Murugesh, chief executive of WNS, hailed the result as a decisive mandate for what he called a “transformative combination.” He said the merger will blend WNS’s domain-focused outsourcing expertise with Capgemini’s advanced technologies to unlock strategic value and help clients outperform their rivals.
Nearly all of WNS’s global shareholders — headquartered in New York — backed the cash offer of $76.50 per share, comfortably surpassing the required 75% approval threshold under the scheme of arrangement.
AI and Financing Power the Future
WNS has built a reputation as a leader in business transformation outsourcing, handling customer service, accounting, HR, and research through technology-driven solutions. Its embrace of generative and agentic AI — systems capable of autonomous decision-making — made it an attractive target for Capgemini.
To bankroll the acquisition, Capgemini has secured $3.7 billion in loans plus €800 million ($936 million) in financing from several major financial institutions. The Paris-based company reported €22.1 billion in global revenue for 2024, underscoring its financial muscle.
