Infosys acquires two firms for $560 mn in healthcare and insurance sectors

Ahead of the closing of FY26, Infosys—India’s second-largest IT services and consulting company—has announced the acquisition of two US-headquartered companies.

In the healthcare space, the company has acquired Optimum Healthcare IT, a U.S.-based healthcare IT and digital transformation solutions provider that offers consulting, implementation, and managed services for hospitals, health systems, and payers, for $465 million in an all-cash deal. The acquisition is expected to close during the first quarter of FY27.

On the acquisition, Salil Parekh, Chief Executive Officer, Infosys, said that Optimum Healthcare IT has established a strong position in the healthcare sector. “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,” he added.

Optimum Healthcare IT’s revenue over the last three fiscal years has seen steady growth, from $114.3 million in FY23 to $275.9 million in FY25. Venky Ananth, EVP & Head of Healthcare, Infosys, said that while the acquisition strengthens Infosys’ healthcare portfolio, “Together, Infosys and Optimum Healthcare IT will advance AI-led, large-scale cloud and data transformation initiatives for healthcare providers through an integrated end-to-end set of offerings—supporting improved patient experiences through data-driven, personalised care while driving greater operational efficiency and cost optimisation.”

In the insurance sector, Infosys has picked up a 100% stake in Stratus Global LLC for $95 million, which includes upfront payments and earnouts, excluding management incentives and retention bonuses. The New Jersey-headquartered Stratus specialises in property and casualty insurers and managing general agents (MGAs). The company specialises in Guidewire—a cloud-based software platform—implementations and upgrades, cloud migration, data modernisation, application support, managed services, and insurance talent solutions.

Kannan Amaresh, SVP & Head of Insurance, Infosys, said that within the insurance sector, the P&C segment leads in AI adoption, driven by claims automation, advanced underwriting, and sophisticated risk modelling. “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,” he added.

Stratus has over 450 experts across its delivery centres in North America, with centres in the US, Canada, and India, and had revenue of $42.8 million in FY25. The acquisition is expected to close during the first quarter of fiscal 2027.
