Accenture has acquired Imaginea, a cloud-native product and platform engineering firm co-founded by Vijay Pullur, who previously had co-founded enterprise software company Pramati. The deal was done on undisclosed terms. The acquisition will add about 1,350 cloud professionals to Accenture.
Imaginea has its headquarters in the US with centres in Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Chennai as well. It currently advises more than 200 global clients to deliver cloud-first transformations.
“Imaginea will further enhance the global capabilities of Accenture Cloud First, which was created to help clients across every industry become ‘cloud-first’ businesses,” said Karthik Narain, global lead for Accenture Cloud First.
Vijay Pullur said “Our unique combination of cloud-native and product engineering skills is why clients seek out Imaginea to help them solve complex problems by unlocking the power of new technologies. Imaginea is excited to join Accenture in helping companies reimagine business and rebuild differently for the benefit of all — from their customers to our people to society at large.”
Rekha M. Menon, chairperson and senior managing director at Accenture in India, said, “I look forward to welcoming our colleagues at Imaginea to Accenture in India, and we are confident that their industry-leading cloud and product engineering skills will add immense value to our clients across key markets as they build agile and resilient businesses for the post-pandemic world.”
