Strategic Acquisitions and Seamless Integration in FY 2024-25

We began FY 2024-25 with the strategic acquisitions of PureSoftware Technologies and Aureus Tech Systems, reinforcing our position in digital transformation. Over the past year, we worked closely with both entities to align systems, policies, processes, culture, and operations. The reorganization into Industry Groups (IGs) and strong cross-company collaboration enabled a smooth and effective integration.

Both companies are now fully embedded within the Happiest Minds ecosystem, marked by strong cultural alignment and high-quality talent. These strategic moves contributed to our best annual performance since IPO in FY 2024-25.

A key highlight of this acquisition is Arttha, PureSoftware’s flagship BFSI product. We are currently enhancing and transitioning Arttha into a SaaS model, enabling broader market reach and more flexible deployment. This strengthens our SaaS portfolio and underlines the long-term strategic value of the acquisition.

Over the past year, along with the acquired entities, we have worked seamlessly to align systems, policies, processes, culture, and operations. The reorganization of the Company structure into Industry Groups (IG) and strong cross-company collaboration enabled smooth and effective integration.
