Wipro has acquired payment software maker mPower for $28m. The deal includes acquisition of 100 per cent stake in Mpact, a joint venture of MasterCard and mPower, the Bangalore-based Wipro said.
The Princeton, New Jersey-based mPower has a development center in Chennai. About 300 mPower workers will now work for Wipro.
The Indian IT outsourcing company said it would now be able to offer services such as application development and maintenance, infrastructure services and package implementation to clients in the financial sector.
