Infosys to acquire Optimum Healthcare IT, Stratus Global for $560 million

Infosys, India’s second-largest IT services and consulting firm, has announced the acquisition of two US-based companies for a total of $560 million, ahead of its annual results, as it looks to deepen capabilities in healthcare and insurance.

In the healthcare segment, Infosys will acquire Optimum Healthcare IT for $465 million in an all-cash deal. The US-based firm provides consulting, implementation and managed services to hospitals, health systems and payers. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of FY27.

“By bringing together Optimum’s provider experience with Infosys Topaz and Infosys Cobalt, we are positioned to create a differentiated value proposition for healthcare providers—accelerating end-to-end cloud, data, and digital transformation at scale,” said Salil Parekh.

Optimum Healthcare IT has reported steady growth, with revenue rising from $114.3 million in FY23 to $275.9 million in FY25.

Infosys also said the acquisition would strengthen its healthcare portfolio, enabling AI-led cloud and data transformation initiatives for providers, with a focus on improving patient outcomes and operational efficiency.

Separately, the company will acquire Stratus Global LLC for $95 million, including earnouts, excluding management incentives and retention bonuses. The New Jersey-based firm specialises in services for property and casualty insurers and managing general agents, with expertise in Guidewire implementations, cloud migration and data modernisation.

“AI is fundamentally transforming the global insurance industry, strengthening decision-making across underwriting, claims, and fraud detection, while making systems intelligent and significantly improving operational efficiency,” said Kannan Amaresh.

Stratus Global has over 450 employees across delivery centres in the US, Canada and India, and reported revenue of $42.8 million in FY25. The acquisition is also expected to close in the first quarter of FY27.

The twin deals come as Infosys sharpens its focus on domain-led, AI-driven capabilities across verticals, amid growing demand for cloud, data and digital transformation services.
