Infosys has announced definitive agreements to acquire two companies — the US-based MRE Consulting in the energy & utilities, services and healthcare industries and the Australia-based The Missing Link, a cybersecurity and cloud services specialist.
The company is set to acquire both companies in an all-cash transaction at $36 million and A$98 million respectively. Both acquisitions are expected to close during the first quarter of FY26.
Headquartered in Texas, MRE Consulting is said to bring a team of over 200 professionals with industry knowledge, consulting and experience in energy/commodity trading and risk management (E/CTRM) platforms and ecosystems. It developed proprietary E/CTRM business process frameworks spanning multiple commodities, transportation modes and business models. According to Infosys, these frameworks will serve as the foundation for commodity trading projects, accelerating vendor selection, solution design and implementation. This investment is said to bring newer capabilities for Infosys in trading and risk management, especially in the energy sector, new clients and synergies with new buying centres.
MRE Founders, Mike Short, Dru Neikirk and Shane Merz, said, “The opportunities for our clients at the intersection of data, AI and technology are vast. By joining with Infosys, we will extend our expertise, deliver new capabilities and expand beyond our current markets, while scaling what makes MRE special.”
Cyber defence
The Australia-headquartered The Missing Link delivers services across the entire spectrum of IT strategy, technology roadmap, project management, cybersecurity, risk assessments and mitigation and automation services. The Missing Link is said to bring a group of over 200 cybersecurity professionals consisting of Red Team, Blue Team and a Global Security Operations Centre (GSOC) to the network of Infosys’ global cyber defence centres. This strategic investment will strengthen Infosys’ cybersecurity capabilities while bolstering its presence in the fast-growing Australian market, the company shared.
Alex Gambotto, Founder and CEO, The Missing Link said, “This acquisition marks a significant milestone for us, allowing The Missing Link to leverage the immense expertise, platforms and global reach of Infosys to better serve our customers and expand our capabilities. While our ownership may change, our commitment to delivering top-tier solutions remains unwavering. We are confident that together, we can create even greater value for all our clients, partners and team.”
