CHARLOTTE, NC – 7 Mile Advisors recently closed their third Digital Transformation deal since the beginning of 2018, acting as the exclusive sell-side advisor to Element Solutions in their sale to Hinduja Global Solutions (NSE:HGS).

The acquisition of Element will help HGS Interactive (HGSi), HGS’ digital services division, to strengthen it’s buy-side portfolio by adding new capabilities and expertise in customer digital experience and digital marketing. It will also bring together a complementary client base across sectors and add significant onshore presence for HGSi. The company will add over 75 employees comprising strategic thinkers, digital marketers, user-centric designers, software engineers and developers, of whom 33 are in the US and the rest in India.

“As part of our strategy to drive digital-led transformation for clients, HGS has been investing significantly in technology and solutions to reimagine customer experiences. The investment in Element Solutions expands on this strategy and helps position us as an end-to-end digital transformational leader who can impact the entire customer lifecycle for brands,” said Partha DeSarkar, Chief Executive Officer, HGS. “I am pleased to welcome the talented team of Element to the HGS family and look forward to leveraging their expertise to drive higher value.”

“The partnership with HGS will help us deliver better on our brand promise of ‘Creating Digital Experiences that transform traditional businesses to digital innovators’ at scale. We are excited about the opportunities ahead and are committed to working with our clients to drive impact,” said Venkatesh Korla, Founder & CEO, Element Solutions.

The 7 Mile Advisors team continues to expand their presence both globally and in the digital transformation M&A environment specifically, with this deal bringing their Digital Transformation track record up to 36 closed transactions. Their increasing success in this ecosystem stems from experience working with Business Services and Technology firms, citing over 120 successfully closed transactions in the space since 2008. As tech enabled business services companies continue to be more and more valuable to enterprises, M&A activity in the space is expected to rise – and 7 Mile Advisors will be there to guide companies through the process.
