An anonymous top manager from the Ukrainian IT market told Forbes Ukraine how the merger of Luxoft Ukraine, which has 3,000 employees in Ukraine, with the American DXC Technology is going. According to him, this process could take years.
DXC Technology, a multinational information technology and consulting company headquartered in Ashburn, Virginia (USA), has been conducting an internal restructuring that will affect Luxoft Ukraine since the end of 2024. In 2019, it bought the Russian Luxoft, along with its Ukrainian division, which had 4,000 employees, for $2 billion.
As an anonymous top manager told Forbes Ukraine, Luxoft Ukraine will fully merge with its parent company DXC Technology. It is currently unknown whether Luxoft will remain a separate brand and how long the merger will take.
«Currently, a due diligence process is underway, the results of which will determine the terms of the merger and the timeframe. The merger process of such large companies is quite long and can last up to three years,» the source of the publication noted.
A procedure for conducting a detailed independent review of an investee, carried out on behalf of investors to form an objective view of the investee. It usually precedes a business purchase, merger, contract, or partnership.
The merger with DXC Technology was mentioned by Managing Director of Luxoft Ukraine Olena Samborska in an interview with dev.ua.
«Currently, the processes are being aligned across DXC Technology. DXC Technology has 120,000 people, and Luxoft has a little more than 16,000. Therefore, compared to them, we are a very small company,» Samborska answered the question about the company’s separate PR service.
According to her, DXC Technology has its own structure, according to which individual locations do not have their own PR services or separate employer branding, which was previously the case at Luxoft Ukraine.
«We are currently in a transformational stage, but I have hope that we will still return to the format that existed before this,» noted the director of Luxoft Ukraine.
The interlocutor of Forbes Ukraine noted that «some systems and departments» of Luxoft Ukraine are already being merged with the parent company, but this has not yet led to any layoffs.
As of July 2025, Ukrainian Luxoft employs about 3,000 employees — the company’s lowest figure since 2013.
