New Delhi, Nov. 25 -- ChrysCapital-backed digital engineering firm Xoriant, on Tuesday, said it acquired Latvia-based software quality specialist TestDevLab. The deal - Xoriant's fourth acquisition in three years - strengthens the firm's engineering footprint in Europe and adds specialised quality-assurance capabilities aimed at testing AI and agentic systems.
The acquisition brings TestDevLab's Baltic and Macedonian delivery centres into Xoriant's network, which now spans 28 offices across India, the US and Europe. TestDevLab, founded 14 years ago, employs more than 500 engineers and is known for work in test automation, performance testing, multimedia analysis, accessibility and UX testing. Its toolset includes proprietary offerings such as Loadero and the AI-driven Barko agent.
Xoriant said the move positions it to deliver both "AI for quality engineering" and "quality engineering for AI" - a growing priority as enterprises deploy agentic systems that require model validation, safety testing, explainability and bias assessment. "With TestDevLab joining Xoriant, we're bringing intelligence and quality even closer together," Xoriant CEO Rohit Kedia said, adding the acquisition accelerates the company's vision of "AI as Applied Intelligence" and its ambition to be an AI-native digital engineering firm.
In an earlier interview with TechCircle, Kedia said, "We're doubling down on two fronts - AI for engineering and engineering for AI. That means infusing AI across the development lifecycle for greater productivity and speed, while helping clients build AI-native platforms and data ecosystems that enable new business models."
Kedia highlighted AI engineering, cloud-native modernisation, secure-by-design software, data-monetisation frameworks and tools that accelerate platformisation on the current focus areas. "We're also reimagining developer experience, strengthening DevSecOps and building reusable accelerators that compress time-to-value," he said.
TestDevLab co-founder Ervins Grinfelds said the deal will amplify the company's mission to help clients deliver reliable, high-performance products and benefit from Xoriant's scale and applied-intelligence approach. TestDevLab serves customers across fintech, healthcare, communications and IoT, including startups and Fortune 500 firms; its testing work supports products used by more than 5 billion people globally, the companies said.
The recent transaction was advised by TH Global Capital. It follows Xoriant's earlier purchases of Thoucentric (August 2023), MapleLabs (February 2024) and FEXLE Services (September 2024), part of a push to scale engineering capabilities through AI and expand into new markets..
