Key Findings & Highlights:
Cigniti is headquartered in Hyderabad. It is no longer a testing pure-play, although it still derives 80% of its revenues from testing; in the past five years, the company has expanded from its testing niche to offer agile consulting and development services and RPA-based business process automation. UiPath remains its primary partner in RPA.
In May 2022, Cigniti resumed acquisitions after a ten-year pause: it took over Aparaa Digital/RoundSqr. RoundSqr was a small firm with FY22 revenues of ~$3m and almost 100 employees, yet its acquisition was strategic for Cigniti. RoundSqr brought precious data engineering, analytics, AI services, and web and mobile application development (including architecture design and API development) capabilities. It also had an IP, Zastra, a computer vision model for object detection, image classification, and semantic segmentation. Zastra will accelerate Cigniti in computer vision, an area of AI with potential in QA, especially in visual testing (as part of UX testing) and RCA.
