Capgemini plans to spend €500 million (about Rs 4,000 crore) to buy 10 smaller firms to bolster capabilities in emerging areas such as digital and analytics and gain market share in a changing business environment. The Paris headquartered €12.8-billion professional services and business consulting company had last month acquired LiquidHub, a digital services firm with offshore capabilities in India, which it said would add value to its business with seasoned design thinkers, user-expe .. experience designers, digital architects and analytics specialists. It plans to keep LiquidHub at the centre stage of the acquisitions and realign its service offerings using expertise in complex technologies from the smaller firms.
