Wipro has announced that it will acquire the Digital Transformation Solutions (DTS) business unit of Samsung subsidiary HARMAN India in a move designed to strengthen its engineering and digital services portfolio. The acquisition, which is subject to regulatory approvals, is expected to be completed by December 31.
Once finalised, the deal will bring more than 5,600 DTS employees, including senior leaders from regions across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, into Wipro’s global workforce.
DTS is widely recognised for its capabilities in digital engineering, connected products, and software platforms. The business will now be integrated into Wipro’s Engineering Global Business Line. Commenting on the acquisition, Srini Pallia, CEO of Wipro, said, “Their (Harman) specialised engineering expertise, combined with Wipro’s consulting-led, AI-powered capabilities, will significantly enhance the value we deliver to clients.”
The move is expected to expand Wipro’s reach across multiple industries including technology, industrial, aerospace, healthcare, and consumer sectors. “The acquisition of DTS marks a pivotal step in Wipro’s ambition to bring to our clients end-to-end, AI-powered engineering services,” added Srikumar Rao, MP and global head of engineering at Wipro.
Sharing his perspective, Christian Sobottka, CEO of Harman, said the deal would help DTS to “scale faster under Wipro.” Along with the acquisition, Wipro has also entered into a multi-year strategic partnership with Harman and Samsung, creating new opportunities for collaboration and innovation at a global level.
