Persistent Systems has announced plans to combine with Nagarro, signing a business combination agreement that will create the Persistent–Nagarro Group, a global provider of AI-led digital engineering services.

The transaction represents a major milestone in Persistent's growth strategy, bringing together two technology companies with complementary capabilities, shared entrepreneurial cultures, and a common focus on innovation and customer success.

According to the companies, the combined business will have a well-balanced geographic footprint, including more than USD 1.7 billion in North American revenue and over USD 600 million in Europe.

Leadership from both organizations highlighted the shared entrepreneurial mindset, innovation-driven culture, and client-centric approach that underpin the transaction.

Beyond expanding geographic reach and technical capabilities, the business combination is expected to create new opportunities for employees, partners, and customers while positioning the combined company to compete more effectively in the rapidly evolving AI and digital engineering market.
