April 17, 2025 - Infosys, a global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire MRE Consulting, a technology and business consulting firm based in Texas, USA. This strategic acquisition is expected to enhance Infosys' capabilities in energy and commodity trading, particularly in trading and risk management. MRE Consulting brings with it a team of over 200 professionals with deep industry knowledge and expertise in Energy/Commodity Trading and Risk Management (E/CTRM), along with proprietary business process frameworks designed for successful commodity trading projects.
Founded in 1994, MRE Consulting has developed these proprietary E/CTRM frameworks that span across multiple commodities, transportation modes, and business models. These frameworks are key to accelerating vendor selection, solution design, and implementation, helping clients streamline their commodity trading projects. The acquisition will not only strengthen Infosys' position in the energy sector but also bring new clients and create synergies with additional buying centers.
Ashiss Kumar Dash, the EVP & Global Head of Services for Utilities, Resources, Energy, and Sustainability at Infosys, highlighted that the world is increasingly shifting towards a more sustainable future. With this transformation, there is a growing need for innovative solutions to integrate renewable energy sources and manage the complexities of global energy markets. Through this acquisition, Infosys aims to enhance its ability to deliver value to clients in energy and commodity trading and risk management, an area where demand for digital transformation is on the rise. MRE Consulting’s expertise in E/CTRM combined with Infosys’ leadership in the energy, resources, and utilities sectors will help clients navigate this complex landscape more effectively.
The founders of MRE Consulting, Mike Short, Dru Neikirk, and Shane Merz, expressed their excitement about the merger, noting that the partnership with Infosys would allow them to expand their offerings and reach new markets. They believe that the acquisition will enhance their ability to deliver innovative solutions at the intersection of data, AI, and technology, and will help MRE scale its operations while continuing to provide value to clients.
The acquisition, which is expected to close during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, will see MRE Consulting joining the Infosys family, further solidifying Infosys’ position as a leader in digital transformation. MRE Consulting is known for its comprehensive services, including customer engagement, cloud infrastructure, digital workplace solutions, and Salesforce and Microsoft partnerships. The company’s expertise in E/CTRM will allow Infosys to offer even more robust solutions to clients in the energy sector.
This move comes as part of Infosys’ continued strategy to grow and enhance its capabilities in key sectors, especially energy, sustainability, and digital transformation. By acquiring MRE Consulting, Infosys strengthens its ability to help organizations navigate the increasing complexities in energy and commodity trading while driving digital innovation in a rapidly evolving industry.
