HCLSoftware announced plans on September 28, 2026, to acquire Robotiq.ai, an enterprise robotic process automation platform provider based in Zagreb, Croatia. The transaction, slated for completion in November 2026, aims to integrate Robotiq.ai’s automation technology into HCL UnO Agentic to bridge the gap between AI decision-making and actual software execution.
Expanding AI Orchestration into Enterprise Execution
As enterprises demand AI systems capable of executing tasks reliably rather than just reasoning, software developers are rushing to bridge decision logic with backend systems. HCLSoftware is incorporating Robotiq.ai’s robotic process automation platform to handle applications that lack proper APIs or have insufficient integration capabilities, according to the company’s announcement. This addition extends HCL UnO Agentic’s capabilities directly into end-to-end operational execution.
Robotiq.ai builds its platform specifically for large financial institutions, insurance groups, and telecommunications carriers. The software incorporates ISO-certified security frameworks, detailed audit logs, and flexible deployment configurations designed to meet strict enterprise compliance standards.
Leadership Perspectives on the Acquisition
Kalyan Kumar, president of HCLSoftware, stated that corporations are moving past experimental AI use cases toward secure, controlled, and reliable production-scale automation. According to Kumar, combining orchestration with enterprise-grade execution under HCL UnO Agentic gives customers the foundation needed to scale agentic AI across their operations with confidence.
Darko Jovišić, CEO and co-founder of Robotiq.ai, noted that the company was founded on the principle that automation must remain practical, fast to deploy, and reliable during day-to-day operations. Joining HCLSoftware grants the platform broader enterprise reach and scale, ensuring automated steps function as part of a controlled, company-wide process rather than isolated tasks.
Transaction Timeline and Corporate Reach
The acquisition agreement was announced from Santa Clara, California, on September 29, 2026, with the official deal closing expected in November 2026. HCLSoftware operates as the software business unit of HCLTech, delivering tools that integrate experience, data, and operations for over 20,000 organizations, including a majority of Fortune 100 companies and nearly half of Fortune 500 enterprises.
