In a significant development aimed at deepening its presence in the Japanese market, Infosys Ltd has completed a strategic stake sale in its joint venture, HIPUS. The move comes as part of the company’s broader vision to strengthen alliances with key industrial players and enhance digital procurement solutions for Japanese enterprises. This latest transaction underscores Infosys’ commitment to fostering innovation and collaboration in one of Asia’s most advanced economies.
On May 14, 2025, Infosys Ltd, a global IT services company, announced the successful completion of a stake sale in its joint venture HIPUS, based in Japan. This transaction follows an earlier announcement made on April 17, 2025, regarding Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) joining HIPUS as a strategic investor. The deal was closed ahead of schedule, earlier than the previously expected timeline of Q1 FY26 and was subject to standard closing conditions.
HIPUS was established in 2019 with a focus on offering high-quality end-to-end procurement solutions. Leveraging digital platforms and sourcing expertise, HIPUS has been serving various Japanese corporations. Infosys, which held a majority stake in the venture, has now sold a 2% share to MHI, marking a significant step in their long-standing relationship.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, a valued and long-term client of HIPUS, has acquired the stake from Infosys to strengthen its collaboration and pursue new business avenues within Japan. MHI is recognised as one of the world’s leading industrial conglomerates, operating across diverse sectors including energy, infrastructure, machinery, aerospace, and defence.
Infosys, in an official statement, affirmed that the strategic investment by MHI enhances its footprint in Japan. The company added that this move reinforces its commitment to supporting Japanese enterprises with next-generation digital solutions, demonstrating a clear intent to deepen partnerships in the region.
