Overview
KPIT Technologies is a Pune-headquartered IT services firm listed on the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE: KPITTECH). The firm reported revenue of INR 60.1 billion (approximately US$730 million) for the fiscal year ending March 2025, with 16,700 employees as of early 2026. KPIT pivoted toward automotive software engineering after the 2018 demerger from Birlasoft, and that segment now drives most growth. The legacy enterprise IT business retains an Oracle practice with continuity dating back to the 1990s.
The Oracle practice focuses on Oracle Cloud ERP, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, and E-Business Suite work for mid-market and upper mid-market industrial buyers. KPIT is an Oracle PartnerNetwork member with specialisations in JDE, EBS Manufacturing, and Oracle Cloud SCM. Capability is concentrated in Pune, Bangalore, and a smaller team in Detroit serving North American automotive clients. The firm sells Fusion implementation, JDE 9.2 upgrades, EBS to Fusion roadmapping, and Oracle managed services as packaged offerings.
KPIT fits manufacturers, automotive suppliers, and mid-market industrial buyers running JDE or EBS who want India-led delivery without the overhead of a tier-1 SI. It is not a fit for buyers requiring large onshore teams, deep Big Four advisory wrap, or complex multi-country Fusion HCM rollouts. In 2024 KPIT reorganised its enterprise IT services arm, narrowing the Oracle practice to JDE and manufacturing-led Fusion scopes where it can compete on depth.

Pricing ranges verified May 2026 from public statements of work and reference checks. KPIT pricing is materially below tier-1 SI rates for comparable scopes.
Strengths
- Deep JD Edwards EnterpriseOne capability — one of the larger JDE benches in India
- Automotive and discrete manufacturing domain depth that pulls through to Oracle SCM and MFG work
- Pricing 30 to 50 percent below tier-1 SI blended rates on comparable scopes
- Direct partner access on most engagements rather than the pyramid-heavy model used at larger firms
- Established Oracle Cloud Manufacturing and Order Management templates for industrial clients
Limitations
- Smaller scale — total Oracle bench under 1,500 consultants limits very large multi-country Fusion programmes
- Limited onshore presence outside India, Detroit, and a small Germany footprint
- Strategic priority is automotive software engineering, not enterprise IT — buyers should expect less internal investment in the Oracle practice over time
- Thinner change management, organisational design, and Big Four-style advisory wrap
- HCM Cloud and CX Cloud capability are limited compared with the full Fusion stack
