WNS Holdings Expands Its AI and Analytics Portfolio with Kipi.ai Acquisition

In a strategic move to enhance its analytics and AI practice, NYSE-listed WNS Holdings has announced the acquisition of Kipi.ai, a US-based company incubated at Seroda Ventures.

Kipi.ai, with its strong presence in banking, financial services, insurance, and other sectors, offers strategy, execution, and managed service capabilities across data engineering, advanced analytics, and data science. The company has developed over 250 proprietary accelerators, enablers, applications, and solutions leveraging AI, ML, GenAI, and advanced analytics.

"We believe that Kipi’s market-differentiated data modernization capabilities and talented team are an excellent fit for WNS," said Keshav Murugesh, CEO of WNS. The strategic business combination is expected to deliver enhanced value for all key stakeholders, including clients, employees, and shareholders.
