DTS’ strong presence in high-growth sectors and strategic markets complements our global footprint and strengthens our position as a trusted transformation partner. Together, we’ll accelerate digital innovation, reduce time to market, and sharpen competitive advantage," said Srini Pallia, CEO and Managing Director of Wipro Limited.

DTS sets itself apart with its purposeful integration of deep engineering with AI-native platforms, domain expertise, proprietary accelerators, and autonomous agent frameworks — enabling transformation at scale through technology designed around people, according to the update. 

According to the company, combining DTS’ personalised, high-touch service model with Wipro’s global scale, advanced technology ecosystem, and expansive resources will allow clients to gain access to the best of both worlds: the agility and precision of a specialist provider and the reach and capabilities of a global leader.

Harman CEO Christian Sobottka said the agreement opens a new growth chapter for the business unit. “As part of Wipro, DTS will have the complementary capabilities and ecosystem needed to expand its impact and accelerate the value it delivers to customers,” he added.
