Infogain
Infogain is a PE-backed digital engineering firm run by CEO Kapil Nanda, executing cloud and AI mandates from Los Gatos.
Infogain
Infogain was founded in 1990 and operates under CEO Kapil Nanda from its Los Gatos, California headquarters. The firm originated as an IT services provider and evolved into a digital engineering specialist focused on cloud transformation, customer experience architecture, and applied artificial intelligence. Private equity sponsor Apax Partners acquired a significant stake in 2021 (per Apax, 2021), marking a structural shift toward buy-and-build consolidation. The firm deploys capital and engineering teams across cloud-native development, DevOps automation, data analytics, and machine learning platform integration. Its strategy concentrates on acquiring mid-tier engineering firms — such as the 2022 purchase of Silicus Technologies — to build scale in Microsoft Azure and AWS capabilities. Client engagements center on migrating enterprise workloads, re-platforming legacy applications, and embedding AI/ML tooling. Geographic delivery spans delivery centers in the United States, India, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Infogain's team expanded through organic growth and acquisitions under ChrysCapital's ownership before Apax's 2021 entry. In September 2022, Infogain acquired Impaqtive, a New Jersey-based Salesforce Summit partner, deepening its CRM and customer experience practice (per the firm, September 2022). The firm also operates a dedicated AI and analytics lab in India, combining engineering talent with platform partnerships including Microsoft, AWS, and Google Cloud. Infogain's structure as a private equity platform company distinguishes it from founder-operated IT services shops. The Apax ownership provides centralized strategic direction while individual business units maintain their specialized practices — a model that allows the firm to pursue roll-up acquisitions without losing the domain-specific expertise required by cloud hyperscaler partners.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Infogain?
Kapil Nanda leads the firm as CEO. Since Infogain is a private-equity-backed operating company, material capital allocation and acquisition decisions are directed by the board, which includes representatives from majority owner Apax Partners. Day-to-day corporate development execution falls under Nanda's leadership team.
How does Infogain source proprietary deal flow?
Infogain builds its pipeline through deep relationships with cloud hyperscalers — primarily Microsoft, AWS, and Google Cloud — which often refer enterprise modernization mandates. Its acquisitions target specialized engineering firms within specific partner ecosystems, sourced through a dedicated corporate development function that tracks Salesforce Summit partners, Azure experts, and niche AI consultancies.
Is Infogain a single family office or does it operate more like a venture firm?
Infogain is neither. It is an operating company in the digital engineering and IT services sector, controlled by private equity firm Apax Partners since 2021. It does not manage external capital as a fund or family office — it generates revenue through professional services contracts with enterprise clients.
Does Infogain participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Infogain does not make fund commitments. Its capital deployment consists entirely of corporate acquisitions of smaller engineering firms to expand geographic footprint, technical capabilities, or cloud partner specializations. The firm is a strategic acquirer, not an institutional allocator.
What investment stages does Infogain typically target?
Infogain acquires mature, revenue-generating IT services and engineering firms, not startups. Target companies are typically mid-sized, profitable, and deeply embedded within one hyperscaler ecosystem — such as a Salesforce Summit partner or an Azure specialist — with established enterprise customer relationships.
How is Infogain related to Apax Partners?
Apax Partners acquired Infogain in 2021 from ChrysCapital in a deal reported at roughly $1–2 billion (per media estimates, 2021). Apax holds a majority stake and provides governance and capital for the firm's buy-and-build acquisition strategy. Infogain operates as a portfolio company within Apax's tech and services portfolio.
Does Infogain maintain philanthropic structures?
No evidence suggests Infogain operates a distinct philanthropic foundation. Corporate social responsibility efforts, if any, are not publicly structured as a separate entity. The firm's primary structure remains a private-equity-controlled operating company focused on engineering services.
