Infosys has announced the acquisition of two US-based companies—Optimum Healthcare IT and Stratus—in deals worth a total of USD 560 million, according to a report by The Economic Times (ET). The transactions were disclosed late on Wednesday and will be completed in cash.

With a combined value of USD 560 million, this marks one of Infosys’ biggest acquisitions in recent years. It is the second-largest deal by an Indian IT company since 2025, after Tata Consultancy Services acquired Coastal Cloud for USD 700 million in December last year.
Infosys said the acquisition of Optimum Healthcare IT will strengthen its presence in the healthcare sector, especially among service providers. The company noted that the deal will help it gain new clients, expand its technology capabilities, and build stronger relationships across different business segments.
Optimum currently has more than 1,600 employees with expertise in healthcare systems. The company was earlier owned by Achieve Partners along with its founders and management team.
Infosys CEO Salil Parekh said, “By bringing together Optimum’s provider experience with Infosys Topaz and Infosys Cobalt, we are positioned to create a differentiated value proposition for healthcare providers – accelerating end-to-end cloud, data, and digital transformation at scale.”
Optimum’s CEO and co-founder Gene Scheurer said the partnership would support future growth. “With Infosys’ long-term investment and global scale behind us, we’re positioned to accelerate AI- and digital-led growth,” he said.
The second acquisition, Stratus, will bring over 450 professionals into Infosys. The firm specialises in insurance platforms, particularly Guidewire and property and casualty (P&C) systems. Infosys said this will help improve customer experience for insurers and support modernisation through cloud and data technologies.
Stratus CEO Chuck Fillizola said, “The future of insurance transformation requires more than technology. It demands execution rigour and the ability to operationalise AI.”
Both acquisitions will be made through Infosys Nova Holdings LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary. The deals are expected to close in the first quarter of financial year 2027, subject to standard conditions.
