WNS Holdings has acquired Kipi.ai

WNS Holdings Limited, a digital-led business transformation and services company, announced today that it has acquired Kipi.ai, a leader in data modernization and democratization services focused on the Snowflake platform.

Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Houston, Texas, Kipi.ai offers strategy, execution, and managed service capabilities across data engineering, advanced analytics, and data science. The company, recognized as a Snowflake Elite Partner, brings one of the world’s largest Snowflake talent pools to WNS with around 600 SnowPro certifications globally.

Kipi.ai’s more than 600 employees include data engineers, solutions architects, data scientists, and business analysts. The company has developed over 250 proprietary accelerators, enablers, applications, and solutions leveraging AI, machine learning, generative AI, and advanced analytics.

Jason Small, Founder and CEO of Kipi.ai, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating, “Kipi.ai is excited to join forces with WNS, an industry leader in digitally-led business transformation services. The strong cultural alignment and complementary service offerings between our two firms will unlock the full potential of AI and offer opportunities to grow and better serve our global clients.”

Keshav Murugesh, CEO of WNS, welcomed the Kipi.ai team, saying, “We believe that Kipi’s market-differentiated data modernization capabilities and talented team are an excellent fit for WNS. Together, we will leverage domain expertise and scalable AI solutions to drive decision intelligence and efficiencies, and to create new revenue streams. We strongly believe that this strategic business combination can deliver enhanced value for all our key stakeholders including clients, employees, and shareholders.”

The acquisition is expected to accelerate WNS’ Analytics and AI practice, though it is not anticipated to materially impact fiscal 2025 fourth quarter revenue or profitability. Kipi.ai is projected to contribute approximately 2% to WNS’ revenue less repair payments and to be neutral to adjusted diluted earnings per share in fiscal 2026.
