Recent captive takeover announcements have mainly come from Europe – TCS (Postbank Systems and Pramerica Systems), Infosys (Rolls-Royce and Daimler) and Wipro (Metro). This presents an opportunity for Indian IT companies to increase their penetration in Continental Europe, which has historically lagged US in outsourcing adoption.

Infosys would assist Daimler to transform its IT operating model and infrastructure landscape across workplace services, service desk, data center and networks. While many media articles mentioned a potential deal value of USD 1.3b with an onboarding of 500-600 employees from Daimler to Infosys.
