WNS Acquires Kipi.ai to Strengthen AI and Data Analytics Capabilities

WNS has acquired Kipi.ai, a Houston-based company specialising in data modernization and AI solutions, to bolster its analytics and AI offerings.

Kipi.ai, a Snowflake Elite Partner, brings a team of over 600 professionals, including 450 data engineers, architects, and analysts, along with approximately 600 SnowPro certifications.

 The company has developed more than 250 AI-powered accelerators, applications, and solutions across industries such as banking, insurance, healthcare, and high-tech services.

“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,” said Jason Small, founder and CEO of Kipi.ai.

WNS CEO Keshav Murugesh highlighted the strategic fit between the two companies, stating, “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.”

The financial impact of the acquisition is expected to be minimal in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. However, Kipi.ai is projected to contribute approximately 2% to WNS’ revenue, with a neutral effect on adjusted diluted earnings per share in fiscal 2026.

WNS, the business transformation and services company, reported its fiscal third-quarter earnings for 2025 in late January, showcasing revenue growth and profitability while emphasising its commitment to AI and GenAI-driven transformation. 

The company recorded $333 million in revenue, marking a 2.1% year-over-year increase and a 3.2% sequential rise. However, full-year guidance was revised downward due to market headwinds.
