NTT DATA Acquires WinWire to Lead Enterprise AI Expansion
Sverica Capital Management LP announced on May 18, 2026, that its Fund V portfolio company, WinWire Holdings, LLC, has entered into a definitive agreement to be sold to NTT DATA, in a deal that signals a major consolidation of enterprise AI capabilities across the global tech landscape.
NTT DATA, a global leader in AI, digital business, and IT services, signed the definitive agreement to acquire WinWire, an award-winning Microsoft partner specialising in Agentic AI, AI on Azure, data engineering, and cloud-native development. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
A Strategic Bet on Agentic AI at Scale
This NTT DATA acquires WinWire deal is more than a portfolio exit it is a calculated move into the future of enterprise technology. Upon closing, WinWire will add more than 1,000 skilled Azure engineers and Microsoft specialists to NTT DATA, bringing deep experience across Microsoft environments, including Microsoft Fabric and Azure AI Foundry.
Headquartered in Santa Clara, California, with global delivery centers in India, WinWire founded by Ashu Goel and Vineet Arora in 2007, and has evolved its capabilities to help enterprises operationalise AI at scale. The company earned six Microsoft Partner of the Year recognitions over the past six years and became an early participant in Microsoft’s Agentic Partner Alliance Program.
This transaction marks the culmination of a successful five-year partnership with WinWire, during which the company more than doubled in size and reinforced its position as a leading Microsoft services partner. Sverica, which manages approximately $2.2 billion in committed capital, followed what it calls a “business builder” approach throughout its ownership.
The acquisition strengthens NTT DATA’s position as a trusted partner to help organisations move beyond experimentation to operationalise AI at scale, as demand accelerates for AI-driven, cloud-native transformation. Industry analysts estimate the global AI market will grow from $390 billion to nearly $3.5 trillion over the next decade. The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
