Virtusa Corporation, a global leader in digital engineering and IT services with significant operations in Sri Lanka, has announced its acquisition of Mav3rik, an Australian-based advisory and implementation partner specializing in Salesforce and MuleSoft technologies.
This strategic move not only strengthens Virtusa’s footprint in the Australia-New Zealand (ANZ) and Asia-Pacific (APAC) regions but also offers considerable long-term benefits for Sri Lanka’s thriving IT sector.
The acquisition reinforces Virtusa’s commitment to expanding its service capabilities across digital transformation platforms, especially Salesforce, one of the world’s leading customer relationship management systems. Mav3rik is recognized for its expertise in delivering advisory and implementation services to public sector clients, healthcare providers, and various other industries across the region.
Nitesh Banga, President and CEO of Virtusa, highlighted the importance of this acquisition in driving innovation. “Our investment in Mav3rik is part of our broader strategy to strengthen our presence in the ANZ and APAC regions — which we view as technology powerhouses. These markets will be key engines of growth not only for Virtusa but also for the broader digital economy,” he said.
For Sri Lanka, where Virtusa has long maintained one of its largest delivery centers and a substantial talent base, this development is expected to generate increased opportunities in high-value tech services. With Mav3rik’s Salesforce and MuleSoft expertise now part of Virtusa, the company can bring more specialized, global-scale projects to its Sri Lankan workforce, enhancing skill development and employment potential in the local IT sector.
Naresha Supramaniam, Market Head for ANZ at Virtusa, added, “We’re partnering with Mav3rik to scale our Salesforce services across Australia. Our shared focus on industry solutions allows us to leverage platforms like Agentforce to deliver automation at speed and scale.”
Mav3rik brings to the table a highly qualified team, including Certified Technical Architects (CTAs) and domain specialists in AI, mobile development, and advisory services. This infusion of talent and expertise is expected to elevate Virtusa’s service delivery and reinforce its “Engineering First” philosophy, which is deeply embedded in its operations — including those based in Sri Lanka.
Sean Finucane, Director and Co-Founder of Mav3rik, welcomed the partnership, stating, “Joining Virtusa empowers us to move faster and deliver more value not just in Australia and New Zealand, but also in other key regions.”
As Virtusa integrates Mav3rik into its operations, Sri Lanka stands to benefit as a strategic IT hub, with the potential to take on more complex digital transformation projects, enhance tech exports, and solidify its position in the global tech services market.
