According to multiple company communications, WNS combines deep domain expertise with talent, technology, and AI to co-create solutions for clients across a broad range of industries. The company is associated with the data processing, hosting, and related services industry within the information sector.
In its public "About WNS" descriptions, the company states that it serves over 700 clients across various industries. WNS delivers what it calls an "entire spectrum of solutions" that include industry-specific offerings, customer experience services, finance and accounting, human resources, procurement, and research and analytics. These services are positioned as ways to help organizations re-imagine the digital future of their businesses and transform operations using technology and AI.
WNS also emphasizes its global delivery footprint.

Historically, WNS has been described as a business process management and transformation specialist. Earlier third-party descriptions characterize WNS as a business process management company serving clients in verticals such as travel, insurance, banking and financial services, manufacturing, retail and consumer packaged goods, shipping and logistics, healthcare, and utilities, and offering services that include finance and accounting, customer care, technology solutions, research and analytics, and industry-specific back-office and front-office processes. These descriptions align with the company’s own emphasis on domain expertise and process-focused services.
Corporate transformation and ownership
On October 17, 2025, WNS completed a significant corporate transaction. As disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Capgemini S.E. completed the previously announced acquisition of WNS (Holdings) Limited by means of a scheme of arrangement under the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991. Upon consummation of the transaction, WNS became a wholly owned subsidiary of Capgemini. The Form 8-K explains that all outstanding ordinary shares of WNS were transferred to Capgemini in exchange for a cash consideration per share, and that, as a result, former holders of WNS shares ceased to have rights as shareholders other than the right to receive that consideration.
In connection with this acquisition, the New York Stock Exchange filed a Form 25 on October 17, 2025, to remove WNS ordinary shares from listing and registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The filing notes that the class of securities—WNS ordinary shares—was being struck from listing on the NYSE. Subsequently, on October 27, 2025, WNS filed a Form 15 to certify the termination of registration of its ordinary shares under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to suspend its duty to file periodic reports under Sections 13 and 15(d). The Form 15 indicates that, as of the certification date, there was one holder of record.
These regulatory filings mean that WNS shares are no longer listed or traded on the New York Stock Exchange and that WNS has deregistered its securities under the Exchange Act. For investors and researchers, the WNS ticker symbol now primarily represents the historical record of the company as an independent, publicly traded issuer prior to its acquisition by Capgemini.

Capital markets and regulatory history
Before its acquisition by Capgemini, WNS filed periodic reports and current reports with the SEC as a foreign private issuer with securities registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and listed on the NYSE. The company’s Form 8-K filings in 2025 document key steps in the acquisition process, including shareholder approval of the scheme of arrangement, receipt of regulatory clearances, sanction of the scheme by the Royal Court of Jersey, and completion of the transaction.
The Form 25 filed by the New York Stock Exchange on October 17, 2025, formally initiated the removal of WNS ordinary shares from listing and registration on the exchange. The subsequent Form 15 filed on October 27, 2025, certified the termination of registration of WNS’s ordinary shares under Section 12(g) and the suspension of its reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d). These steps mark the transition of WNS from a publicly traded company with SEC reporting obligations to a wholly owned subsidiary of Capgemini without listed equity securities in the U.S. public markets.
