Infosys, India’s second-largest software exporter is in advanced talks to acquire a US-based information technology firm, according to a report.

The deal size is expected to be in the range of $700-750 million. The company needed to diversify beyond banking services, which contribute 35.4% to the revenue.

If the buyout goes through, it will be the biggest acquisition in Infosys history. Its acquisitions in the past, like McCamish and Expert Information Systems, were worth under $50 million. The last time Infosys made a bid for a buyout was for Axon, which was eventually acquired by rival HCL.

Recently, the company had entered into three-year memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Singapore Management University (SMU). According to the MoU, both entities will work together to develop training programme content for Infosys employees as well as case studies and learning labs for SMU’s Bachelor of Science (IS Management) and Master of IT in Business degree programs.
