Shares of HCL Technologies Ltd ended flat on 23rd December after touching a day’s high of Rs 1,686.90. This occurred despite the company announcing on Monday (22nd December) that its software business division, HCLSoftware, intends to acquire Wobby. Wobby is an early-stage startup based in Antwerp, Belgium, which provides AI data analyst “agents” for data warehouses.
The acquisition aims to help clients realise value from generative AI faster by adding AI data analyst capabilities.
Wobby’s AI Data Analyst Agents allow users to query complex datasets using natural language and receive instant, actionable insights.
The platform uses a proprietary semantic layer and agentic architecture. This helps in understanding business context, automating workflows, and delivering insights at scale.
HCLSoftware’s Data & AI division, Actian, has seen strong demand and growth over the past five years. They provide metadata management, data catalogue, and data governance solutions.
Adding Wobby’s agentic AI capabilities is expected to enhance the Actian data intelligence platform’s knowledge graph features.
Actian said the integration will enable trusted, AI-driven self-service analytics built on a governed semantic layer. This will help enterprises scale GenAI initiatives with confidence.
Wobby said the partnership will support a shift toward proactive analytics, combining automated insights with advanced business intelligence.
The acquisition is expected to close by February 2026.
At 3:30 PM, shares of HCL Tech ended 0.27% higher at Rs 1,674.80 on NSE.
