Infosys to Acquire Stratus; Healthcare and Insurance Jobs Shift

Infosys, India’s second-largest IT services provider, has announced a major inorganic growth push by entering into definitive agreements to acquire two U.S.-based firms for a combined value of $560 million. 

On Wednesday, March 25, 2026, the company confirmed the acquisition of healthcare digital transformation leader Optimum Healthcare IT for $465 million and insurance technology specialist Stratus for $95 million.

Dominating the Healthcare Provider Market

The acquisition of Florida-based Optimum Healthcare IT represents one of Infosys’ largest investments in recent years.

Known for its “Best in KLAS” recognition, Optimum brings over 1,600 experts specializing in electronic health record (EHR) advisory and large-scale clinical transformations.

Infosys CEO Salil Parekh noted that by integrating Optimum’s deep domain expertise with Infosys Topaz (AI) and Infosys Cobalt (Cloud), the firm can now offer healthcare providers a differentiated, end-to-end value proposition. 

The move aims to accelerate data-driven, personalized patient care while driving operational efficiency for hospitals and health systems.

Infosys Strengthening the Insurance Vertical

Simultaneously, the $95 million acquisition of New Jersey-headquartered Stratus bolsters the company’s presence in the property and casualty (P&C) insurance sector. 

Stratus is a prominent Guidewire partner with a 450-strong team across the U.S., Canada, and India.

Infosys designed the deal to help global insurers modernize core platforms through AI-led automation in underwriting, claims, and risk modeling.

Infosys intends to absorb Stratus’ specialized consulting-led culture.

This integration will bridge the gap between broad AI ambition and industry-specific execution in the insurance landscape.

Strategic Financial Milestone

These all-cash transactions mark Infosys’ highest acquisition spend in a single fiscal year, totaling roughly $808 million in FY26. 

Both deals are expected to close in the first quarter of FY2027. 

The acquisitions are projected to add approximately $319 million in incremental revenue.

This move signals Infosys’ aggressive stance in securing high-demand vertical capabilities as automation reshapes the global IT sector.
