NEW DELHI: HCLSoftware is set to acquire Wobby, a Belgium-based early-stage startup offering AI data analyst agents for data warehouses, for Eur 4.5 million (about Rs 47 crore), according to a statement.

The deal is to close by February 2026, HCLSoftware, the software business division of HCLTech, said in the statement on Tuesday.

The integration of Wobby’s technology will support HCLSoftware’s Data & AI division Actian. The acquisition aims to accelerate value realisation for clients by integrating agentic AI capabilities, allowing users to query complex datasets through natural language interfaces and receive instant, actionable insights.

“With Wobby, Actian provides LLM-powered natural-language analytics on a unified, governed semantic layer,” Marc Potter, executive vice president & portfolio GM, data & analytics (Actian) at HCLSoftware, said.
