El Dorado Hills (California) [US] / Greater Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India], August 22: R Systems International Limited, a global leader in digital product engineering, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Novigo Solutions, a specialist in low-code/no-code (LCNC) development and intelligent-automation services. The strategic acquisition creates a global digital product engineering services powerhouse with INR 20,600M (~$240M) revenue and INR 3,800M (~$45M) EBITDA, offering engineering, deployment, and management of enterprise-scale fleets of AI agents under a single, governed platform.
Novigo has been growing strongly and delivered 44% revenue CAGR over the last three years with 25% EBITDA margin and healthy free cash flow.
The upfront cash consideration for the transaction is INR 400 cr, with an additional stock consideration linked to future EBITDA achievement. The acquisition will be EPS accretive for R Systems since year 1.

The acquisition helps R Systems expand its offerings in the fast-growing Middle East region and gain delivery presence in Bangalore and Tier 2 cities (e.g. Mangalore).
Novigo's management team will continue to be a part of the combined platform and drive growth.

It's not just about adding scale; it is about adding synergistic, high-margin capabilities that translate into stronger outcomes for our clients. We are thrilled to welcome the highly talented Novigo team to the R Systems family."
Praveen Kalbhavi and Mohammed Hanif, CEO and CTO, Novigo Solutions:

Joining R Systems accelerates our mission to deploy agentic AI and automation tools at scale. Now, supercharged by R Systems' OptimaAI Suite, our UiPath and Microsoft agentic workforce can be deployed to solve our clients' most complex problems. Our high-quality talent across Mangalore, emerging as India's Silicon Beach, and all our locations will complement the global engineering strengths of R Systems. We look forward to growing the business further with R Systems."
