Kochi: Xencia has been acquired by Saints & Masters (S&M), a global technology advisory and execution firm focused on cloud services and AI-led innovation.
Through the acquisition of the entire stake in Bengaluru-based Xencia Technology Solutions, Saints & Masters is strengthening its Microsoft cloud capabilities while targeting revenue of more than ₹1,000 crore from its Microsoft Cloud business over the next few years.
The acquisition is also expected to create more than 1,000 technology jobs during the same period as the combined organization expands its global engineering and delivery capabilities.
The acquisition of Xencia significantly enhances Saints & Masters’ growing multicloud practice by adding deep expertise across Microsoft’s cloud ecosystem.
The company said the move reflects its ambition to become a key enabler of the AI economy while expanding its presence across India and international markets.
“The acquisition is central to our strategy to scale up our Microsoft cloud, AI and digital transformation offerings both for our clients in India and overseas geographies. Xencia brings to the table a team of experienced professionals with expertise across the entire Microsoft cloud stack.
Together, we are building a comprehensive multi-cloud AI delivery platform that will help enterprises modernize, innovate and unlock value from AI at scale. This is about more than scale, it is about building a firm that the most demanding enterprises can trust with their most critical workloads,” said Jaikrishnan G, CEO of Saints & Masters.

With the integration of Xencia, the company aims to strengthen its position as a leading multi-cloud AI orchestration partner by combining Microsoft Azure expertise with its existing hyperscaler and OEM partnerships.
The integrated capabilities are expected to provide enterprises with a comprehensive multi-cloud AI delivery platform.
“We evaluated several opportunities in the market, but Xencia stood out because of its strong Microsoft Technology expertise, engineering talent, and profitable growth trajectory.
Xencia‘s leadership and a team of more than 350 engineers and delivery professionals, based in Bengaluru and Chennai, will be fully integrated into the S&M group, strengthening execution depth across the Microsoft stack.

Together, the acquisitions of Xencia and Nubinix Technologies reinforce Saints & Masters’ commitment to becoming a leading global provider of cloud, AI, and digital transformation services while expanding its expertise across multiple cloud platforms and enterprise technology ecosystems.
