↓ -4%Nagarro: and DigitalAPI announce partnership to deliver governed, enterprise-scale API and MCP management for the agentic enterprise. Published on 07/22/2026 at 04:15 am EDT Bengaluru, July 22:Nagarro, a global AI transformation and engineering leader, today announced a strategic partnership with DigitalAPI, an enterprise API and AI management platform, to help enterprises securely govern, manage, and scale the APIs and AI agents that increasingly power their operations. The partnership enables enterprises to bring the same level of governance, security, and observability they expect from their API estate to a fast growing new layer: the AI agents and Model Context Protocol (MCP) traffic now connecting large language models to enterprise systems. By combining Nagarro's AI-native engineering capabilities with DigitalAPI's API Developer Portal, API Gateway, and MCP Gateway, organizations gain a unified control plane to expose, secure, and monetize APIs while keeping agentic AI interactions safe, auditable, and production ready. Under the partnership, Nagarro serves as the strategic systems integrator and co-innovation partner, responsible for designing, building, and deploying these capabilities at enterprise scale. Leveraging its global delivery model and deep industry expertise, particularly across banking, financial services, and insurance, Nagarro integrates DigitalAPI's platform into core enterprise systems and hyperscaler environments to deliver production-ready solutions. Bharath Kumar, Founder & CEO, DigitalAPI, said: "Enterprises have spent a decade learning how to govern APIs. Agentic AI introduces a new wave of machine to machine traffic that needs exactly that same discipline, applied in real time. By partnering with Nagarro, we are giving organizations a single, trusted layer to manage both their APIs and their AI agents, so they can adopt AI quickly without giving up control, security, or compliance." Syed Aftab Ahamed, API & Integration Lead, Nagarro, said: "Enterprises today are modernizing their API ecosystems while exploring new ways to leverage AI. Through our partnership with DigitalAPI, we're helping clients build a trusted foundation that brings APIs and AI together, making it easier to connect systems, accelerate innovation, and deliver AI-powered business solutions at scale." This collaboration reflects a clear shift in how Nagarro's clients are adopting AI. As enterprises move from isolated AI pilots to agents that act on live systems, the need for a governed, auditable layer between AI and core infrastructure becomes urgent. DigitalAPI gives Nagarro's engineering teams a ready control plane for exactly that, spanning both traditional APIs and emerging MCP traffic, so clients can scale agentic AI without creating new security or compliance gaps. About DigitalAPI DigitalAPI is an enterprise API and AI management platform that helps organizations design, secure, govern, and monetize their APIs and AI agent interactions. Its product suite includes an API Developer Portal for publishing and onboarding, the Helix API Gateway for runtime traffic management and security, and an MCP Gateway that brings enterprise-grade governance to Model Context Protocol traffic between AI models and enterprise systems. Built by a team with deep API engineering heritage, DigitalAPI serves customers across banking, financial services, insurance, and software. For more information, visitwww.digitalapi.ai.

Persistent Systems' shares dropped significantly following its announcement to acquire German digital engineering firm Nagarro for approximately EUR 1.27 billion. While this move aims to boost European presence and revenue, analysts express concerns about near-term growth and profitability impacts due to the premium acquisition price and Nagarro's weaker financial performance. The deal, financed by a bridge loan, is expected to reduce US market dependence and expand industry verticals.
Persistent to buy German digital engg firm Nagarro, expand Europe presence. The all-cash acquisition, backed by Nagarro's largest shareholder, will expand Persistent's European presence and is expected to take combined annual revenue to about $2.9 billion. Separately, Persistent said it had signed a deal with a US technology company with a total contract value of $650 million over more than six years Persistent Systems on Saturday announced it will buy German digital engineering company Nagarro for €81 a share in one of the company's biggest deals, which will give the mid-tier IT services firm a greater presence in Europe to boost its revenue. The all-cash deal represents a 140 per cent premium to Nagarro's closing share price on June 25 on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and about 94 per cent to the three-month volume-weighted average price. Based on the outstanding shares of Nagarro, the deal - according to rough calculations - works out to about €1 billion. Persistent has already secured the backing of Nagarro's largest shareholder, Lantano Beteiligungen GmbH, which has agreed to tender its entire 21 per cent stake in the company. "The combination strengthens our position in Europe, expands our scale in North America, and enhances our ability to help clients accelerate their AI and digital transformation journeys," Sandeep Kalra, executive director and chief executive officer of Persistent Systems, said in a statement. Munich-based Nagarro, which has about 18,500 employees across 40 countries, specialises in the industrial, consumer, technology, media and telecom (TMT), and banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) sectors, with revenue of €1 billion in 2025. The combined entity will have annual revenue of about $2.9 billion, more than 46,000 employees, AI-led engineering expertise, a deeper presence in Europe, and enhanced ERP and CX delivery capabilities. Speaking to Business Standard in January, Kalra had said the company was looking to expand its presence in Europe and reduce its reliance on the US as its key geographic market, keeping in mind the macroeconomic uncertainty and volatility that had affected almost all IT services players. The aim was to generate about 12-15 per cent of its topline from the continent over the long term. With the acquisition, however, Persistent's European revenue share will increase to 22 per cent from 9 per cent, creating a more balanced revenue profile, with North America accounting for 62 per cent and the balance coming from the rest of the world. The transaction is expected to be earnings-per-share accretive in the first year after completion. Indian IT services firms have been making big-ticket acquisitions over the past year across geographies and capabilities as organic growth has slowed considerably due to volatile macroeconomic conditions and pressure on traditional revenue streams from AI. Coforge bought Encora for $2.35 billion, HCLTech acquired HPE's telecom solutions business for $160 million and Jaspersoft for $240 million. TCS bought Coastal Cloud for about $700 million last year, while Infosys announced the purchase of Optimum Healthcare IT, an American healthcare technology consulting company, for $465 million. "With the AI revolution, we are entering an era that will reward companies like ours that already have a digital-, data- and AI-DNA. It's a moment of great opportunity, but it also needs scale and power to make the most of it," said Manas Human, co-founder and chief executive officer of Nagarro. Separately, Persistent said it had signed a deal with a US technology company with a total contract value of $650 million over more than six years. The contract will focus on product development, product support, cloud services operations and support.
