The gains have come on the back of strong volumes. As of 10.20 am, nearly 70 lakh shares of R Systems have changed hands in comparison to its 20-day average of 30,000.

Novigo's management team will continue to be a part of the combined platform and drive growth, R Systems said.

"By integrating Novigo's automation depth into our OptimaAI portfolio, we can now take customers from model engineering to autonomous execution under one roof.
