Infosys, a leading IT firm, announced the acquisition of in-tech, a German engineering R&D services provider focused on the automotive industry, for $480 million (450 million euros), as disclosed in a filing with the BSE.
This acquisition is aimed at strengthening Infosys’ engineering R&D capabilities and assisting global clients in their digital engineering journey, according to the company's statement. The deal is expected to be finalized in the first half of fiscal 2025, subject to regulatory approvals.

It specializes in developing solutions for e-mobility, connected and autonomous driving, electric vehicles, off-road vehicles, and railroad systems.
With the acquisition of in-tech, Infosys gains access to marquee German OEMs, strong client relationships, and extensive industry expertise. In-tech boasts a multidisciplinary team of 2200 professionals across locations in Germany, Austria, China, the UK, and nearshore locations in the Czech Republic, Romania, Spain, and India.
