ITC Infotech to Acquire Controlling Stake in Happiest Minds Technologies
ITC Infotech plans to acquire a controlling 44% stake in Happiest Minds Technologies from founder Ashok Soota for approximately Rs 2,800-2,900 crore through cash and stock. This deal will trigger an open offer for an additional 26% from public shareholders. Following the acquisition, ITC Infotech is expected to reverse-merge into Happiest Minds, enabling the technology services arm to become a listed entity. The move reflects consolidation trends in the mid-market IT services sector amid industry challenges.
