Wipro Ltd., a leading AI-powered technology services and consulting company based in East Brunswick, announced Aug. 22 that it has agreed to acquire the Digital Transformation Solutions (DTS) business unit of HARMAN, a Samsung company, in a transaction that will accelerate Wipro’s mission to deliver next-generation engineering research & development (ER&D) services.
As part of the agreement, over 5,600 DTS employees, including key leadership, across the Americas, Europe and Asia will transition to Wipro upon closing of the transaction. The acquisition is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to close by Dec. 31.
“Welcoming DTS into the Wipro family marks a pivotal step in our transformation journey,” said Srini Pallia, CEO and managing director of Wipro Limited. “Their specialized engineering expertise, combined with Wipro’s consulting-led, AI-powered capabilities, will significantly enhance the value we deliver to clients. DTS’ strong presence in high-growth sectors and strategic markets complements our global footprint and strengthens our position as a trusted transformation partner. Together, we’ll accelerate digital innovation, reduce time-to-market and sharpen competitive advantage.”
The DTS unit provides Wipro a robust foundation in digital engineering and ER&D, with strengths spanning domain-led design, connected products and software platforms. DTS provides purposeful integration of deep engineering with AI-native platforms, domain expertise, proprietary accelerators and autonomous agent frameworks — enabling transformation at scale through technology designed around people.
“The acquisition of DTS marks a pivotal step in Wipro’s ambition to bring to our clients end-to-end, AI-powered engineering services,” said Srikumar Rao, managing partner and global head of engineering at Wipro Limited.
“Together, Wipro and DTS will enable clients to seamlessly connect the virtual and physical worlds, embed AI across the full spectrum of engineering and unlock scalable innovation. This move strengthens our software-defined, platform-centric approach and empowers us to deliver larger, more complex transformation programs across high-growth sectors including hi-tech, consumer, industrial, health care and aerospace.”
As part of the acquisition, Wipro will enter into a multiyear strategic agreement with HARMAN and Samsung, further deepening the relationship and creating new avenues for joint growth and transformation.
Upon completion of the acquisition, DTS will be integrated into Wipro’s Engineering Global Business Line.
