Coforge’s $2.35-billion acquisition of Encora set to facilitate large-scale AI deployments

Coforge has said that its $2.35-billion acquisition of Encora positions the company among a small group of global leaders in AI-led engineering. The Encora deal takes place as enterprises increasingly shift from pilot projects to large-scale AI deployments.
Coforge Chief Executive Sudhir Singh has added that Encora brings a depth of AI-native engineering capability that few technology services firms globally possess, particularly at scale and inside Fortune-500 enterprises.
“This acquisition will create an approximately $2.5-billion tech services powerhouse with both the scale and capability across AI-led engineering, cloud and data services,” Mr Singh has told analysts after announcing the acquisition.
Mr Singh adds that Encora operates at the intersection of AI, data and cloud, with capabilities spanning agent-native product engineering, AI foundations, data readiness and AIOps. Unlike many AI-native start-ups, Encora already works deep inside large enterprises, with multi-year tenured engineering teams and strong client advocacy.
“Encora is one of the select technology services firms with an AI-native DNA that already operates inside Fortune-500 enterprises,” he notes, adding that its engineers have multi-year tenure and deep institutional memory inside client accounts.
The Coforge management has added that this positions the combined company to move beyond experimentation and deliver enterprise-grade AI systems that are embedded directly into core business workflows, rather than isolated productivity tools.
