Journey of the Company

LTI Mindtree Limited is an Indian multinational company specialising in information technology services and consulting. It operates as a subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro (L&T), a prominent Indian conglomerate. The company was established in December 1996 under the name L&T Information Technology Ltd, initially functioning as a subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro. During 2001-2002, the company underwent a name change from L&T Information Technology Limited to Larsen & Toubro Infotech Limited, achieving the esteemed Software Engineering Institute's (SEI) Maturity Level 5 certification in the same year. In a strategic move, the engineering services segment of L&T Infotech was gained complete control of by L&T Technology Services, a newly created subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro, during the fiscal year 2013-14. In July 2016, L&T Infotech debuted in the public market through a successful initial public bringing forth (IPO) that raised ₹1,243 crore (approximately US$184.98 million). The company later initiated a rebranding process in May 2017, adopting the name 'LTI' along with the tagline 'Let's Solve'. A significant development occurred in June 2019 when Larsen & Toubro completed a hostile takeover of Mindtree, an IT company based in Bangalore. Subsequently, in May 2022, it was announced that Mindtree, an existing IT services subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro, would be merged into LTI. This merger led to the creation of LTIMindtree. The merger was officially completed in November 2022, resulting in LTIMindtree becoming the 5th largest IT services provider by market capitalisation and the 6th largest by revenue. As part of the merger, shares of Mindtree were delisted, and shareholders were allotted 73 shares of LTI for every 100 shares of Mindtree they held. The parent company, Larsen & Toubro, retained a 68.73% stake in the merged entity.
