Cognizant to Acquire Astreya to Strengthen AI Infrastructure Capabilities
Headquartered in San Jose and operating in more than 35 countries, Astreya brings extensive experience in managing large-scale enterprise technology environments.
Cognizant has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Astreya, a global AI-first IT managed services provider, in a deal to expand its AI infrastructure and accelerate its transformation into an AI-focused enterprise.
Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Headquartered in San Jose and operating in more than 35 countries, Astreya brings extensive experience in managing large-scale enterprise technology environments.
Its proprietary AI OpsHub platform, which includes capabilities such as readiness assessment, analytics, and automation, is expected to enhance Cognizant’s ability to deliver production-grade AI solutions. The acquisition will also strengthen Cognizant’s partnerships with major hyperscalers and platforms such as Google Cloud Platform and ServiceNow.
“Between 2025 and 2030, there is a projected $6.7 trillion AI data centre infrastructure buildout currently reshaping the global technology landscape, with global capacity expected to double in five years. The five largest hyperscalers are expected to spend nearly $700 billion on infrastructure in 2026 alone.
"By acquiring Astreya and its proprietary AI tooling and production-grade infrastructure platform, which is complementary to Cognizant's AI builder stack, we will be even better-positioned to help clients architect their platform-led AI systems and operationalise them at scale,” said Ravi Kumar S, Cognizant CEO.
“Effective and credible scaling of AI infrastructure, including data centers, requires deep context and AI builder expertise. We expect the acquisition of Astreya will meaningfully expand Cognizant's AI Infrastructure capabilities and enhance our powerful 'Magnificent Seven' hyperscaler relationships,” Surya Gummadi, Cognizant Americas President, added.
“Joining Cognizant is the natural next chapter for the Astreya global team and, importantly, the clients who have trusted us to operate their most critical technology environments. We have spent the last several years making deliberate, disciplined investments in AI: building platforms, training specialists and fundamentally redesigning how managed services are delivered. We look forward to attacking the AI infrastructure era as a part of Cognizant!” said Romil Bahl, Astreya President and CEO.
The acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals.
