Infosys to acquire two tech firms in U.S. and Australia
BENGALURU, INDIA — Infosys has announced back-to-back acquisitions of two regional tech consultancies—Texas, United States-based MRE Consulting and Australia’s The Missing Link—in a bid to expand its global capabilities in energy trading and cybersecurity.
The twin deals, both set to close in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, sharpen Infosys’ edge in high-growth digital services and strengthen its footprint in North America and Asia-Pacific.
Energy sector boost with MRE Consulting
Infosys will acquire Houston-headquartered MRE Consulting for up to $36 million in an all-cash deal through its subsidiary Infosys Nova Holdings LLC.
Founded in 1994, MRE provides technology and business consulting services with a specialization in energy/commodity trading and risk management (E/CTRM). Its proprietary frameworks support vendor selection, system design, and implementation across commodities and energy supply chains. MRE employs over 200 professionals and serves clients in energy, utilities, and healthcare.
“With increasing complexity in integrating diverse sources of energy, including renewables, global corporations require innovative solutions to navigate transformation,” said Ashiss Kumar Dash, EVP and Global Head at Infosys.
“By combining MRE Consulting’s deep E/CTRM capabilities with Infosys’ established leadership in the energy, resources, and utilities sector, we are further enhancing our ability to drive value for our clients in this critical area of their business.”
MRE’s leadership said the acquisition would help them scale while maintaining the firm’s values.
“By joining with Infosys, we will extend our expertise, deliver new capabilities, and expand beyond our current markets, while scaling what makes MRE special,” said co-founders Mike Short, Dru Neikirk, and Shane Merz.
Cybersecurity expansion in Australia through The Missing Link
Infosys also announced a definitive agreement to acquire The Missing Link, an Australian cybersecurity and IT services firm.
Founded in 1997, the company offers full-stack cyber solutions, including Red and Blue Team operations, strategic advisory, compliance support, and managed services.
The Missing Link operates a state-of-the-art Global Security Operations Centre (GSOC) and serves clients across Asia-Pacific. The company’s offerings align with Infosys’ cloud-first strategy, Infosys Cobalt, and aim to fortify its global cybersecurity defense network.

“Technology led transformation and securing the enterprise are amongst the highest priorities for global corporations. Together with The Missing Link, and our cloud offering Infosys Cobalt, we aim to usher in the new wave of differentiated value to customers,” said Satish HC, Infosys EVP and Chief Delivery Officer.
CEO and Founder Alex Gambotto said the move marks a “significant milestone” that will allow The Missing Link to tap Infosys’ global scale.
“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,” Gambotto added.
Strategic momentum of Infosys
With over 300,000 employees and clients in more than 56 countries, Infosys continues to make targeted acquisitions to enhance its global consulting and digital services portfolio. These deals strengthen its presence in critical sectors while reinforcing its ambitions in AI, energy, and cybersecurity transformation.
The dual acquisitions were made in the midst of the company firing trainees and suing Cognizant over an alleged healthcare software monopoly.
Infosys ranked #11 in the OA500 2025, an objective index of the world’s top 500 outsourcing companies.
