GREATER NOIDA, India & EL DORADO HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#AI--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.

Novigo’s management team will continue to be a part of the combined platform and drive growth.

"This is a pivotal moment for R Systems, our clients, and our investors," said Nitesh Bansal, CEO of R Systems. "As enterprises move from pilots to production-grade AI agents which are governed by robust orchestration and compliance frameworks, the acquisition of Novigo Solutions acts as an accelerator in our journey to lead the Agentic AI revolution. By integrating Novigo’s automation depth into our OptimaAI portfolio, we can now take customers from model engineering to autonomous execution under one roof. 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:
“We have built a world-class practice in making businesses faster and smarter through low-code platforms and intelligent automation. 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.
