The deal aims to strengthen Wipro’s artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities in the global insurance sector and is expected to be completed by 31 October 2026.
Wipro shares closed 1.58% higher at ₹173.70 on Thursday, taking the company’s market capitalisation to ₹1.72 lakh crore. The announcement comes after the information technology (IT) services company reported its second-quarter financial results for FY27.

What Does FLARRE.AI Do?
FLARRE.AI develops AI tools for insurance companies. Its software agents work across core insurance platforms, helping insurers roll out new products and handle upgrades, system expansions and migrations.
The platform also brings AI into everyday insurance operations, such as assessing risk during underwriting and processing claims. Its tools are designed to help insurers manage these tasks across different stages of their business.
By combining an insurance-focused orchestration platform with an insurance knowledge graph and an enterprise AI control plane, FLARRE.AI aims to improve operational efficiency across the insurance value chain.
Wipro’s FLARRE.AI acquisition would enhance its AI capabilities for the global insurance sector. The transaction will be made in cash, and no government or regulatory approval is required, according to the company’s filing.
