The proposed integration will see Mindtree and LTI join strengths to create an efficient and scaled up IT services provider exceeding $3.5 billion.
Both Mindtree and LTI have delivered market leading financial performance and created value for shareholders. Given that recent industry shifts (e.g., prominence of large deals, preference for end-to-end offerings) are benefiting at-scale players, the two companies have decided that the time is appropriate to combine the strengths of both organisations to better serve the customers, a statement said.
Significant scale benefits are anticipated through Mindtree and LTI's complementary strengths resulting in a stronger portfolio of offerings across verticals.
Enhanced customer engagement and delivery model through industrialisation of delivery and streamlined value-enabling processes is expected to result in improvement in large deal capabilities.
These opportunities will create a more distinctive employee value proposition and stronger partnerships with ecosystem players.
