Japan's leading information technology services and solutions provider, NTT Data Corporation, has emerged as the most aggressive suitor for Indian software services firm Patni Computer Systems. NTT is in advanced talks with the promoters of Patni Computer to buy their combined 46.5 per cent stake, investment banking sources said.
NTT had earlier sought the combined 63 per cent stake of the promoters and private equity firm General Atlantic Partners, but their exclusive talks failed due to a valuation mismatch.
Japanese information technology services firm NTT Data Corporation is still in talks to acquire stake in Patni Computer Systems, despite acquiring Intelligroup for $199 million (around Rs 895 crore), say sources in the investment banking industry.
