Cognizant has announced plans to acquire Astreya in a deal worth around $600 million, as it looks to expand its capabilities in artificial intelligence (AI) and data infrastructure.
Astreya is known for managing large-scale IT systems, including data centres, cloud operations, and AI infrastructure. By bringing Astreya into its network, Cognizant aims to better support companies that are increasingly relying on AI and digital technologies for their operations.
The acquisition comes at a time when businesses across the world are investing heavily in AI tools and cloud-based systems. As demand grows, companies need strong backend infrastructure to run these technologies smoothly, and this is where Astreya’s expertise fits in.
Cognizant said the deal will help it deliver more advanced AI-driven solutions to its clients. Astreya’s experience in handling complex IT environments, including enterprise networks and AI platforms, is expected to strengthen Cognizant’s overall service offering.
The deal is likely to be completed in the coming months, subject to necessary approvals. Once finalised, Astreya’s team and technology will become part of Cognizant’s global operations.
This move is part of a larger strategy for Cognizant to stay competitive in a rapidly changing tech industry. The company has been focusing more on AI, automation, and cloud services, which are becoming key areas of growth.
Astreya, founded over two decades ago, has built a strong reputation for managing IT operations for major global clients. Its addition is expected to give Cognizant an edge in handling large and complex digital projects.
