Overview
Luxoft is the digital engineering subsidiary of DXC Technology, acquired in 2019 for US$2 billion. As of December 2025 Luxoft operates across 44 cities in 21 countries with an estimated workforce of 16,000 to 18,000. The parent group, DXC Technology, reported total revenue of US$12.64 billion for fiscal year 2026, down 1.8 percent year-over-year. Luxoft revenue is not separately disclosed (private, revenue not disclosed within DXC); third-party estimates place 2025 turnover in the US$1–2 billion range, though sources differ.
For custom software development, Luxoft positions itself as a digital engineering practice with deep vertical specialisation in automotive (including in-vehicle infotainment, ADAS, and digital cockpit software), capital markets (Murex, Calypso, and trading platform engineering), and financial services. The firm operates as a standalone brand within DXC and retains its pre-acquisition delivery culture, while leveraging DXC global infrastructure and security services for managed-services bundling.
Luxoft is a fit for buyers requiring deep vertical expertise — particularly automotive OEMs, capital markets trading platforms, and complex insurance and travel-distribution engineering — at mid-tier nearshore rates. It is less well suited to standard digital experience or e-commerce engineering work, where mid-tier pure-play firms offer better commercials and methodology fit. The DXC ownership structure remains a procurement consideration; some buyers report slower commercial cycles post-acquisition.

Strengths
- Deep automotive software engineering bench — long-running work with BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen Group, and Stellantis on IVI and ADAS programmes
- Specialist capital markets engineering capability around Murex, Calypso, FIS, and trading platform integration
- Nearshore European delivery base in Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, and Germany — high time-zone overlap for European clients
- Mature DevOps and platform engineering practice with documented internal tooling and accelerators
- DXC parent provides global infrastructure, security operations, and managed services bundling option for buyers wanting a single-vendor stack
- Long-tenured delivery teams in automotive and capital markets — engineering staff retention above peer-group averages in these verticals
Limitations
- Operates as a DXC subsidiary with reduced standalone brand and procurement-facing financial disclosure — Luxoft revenue is not separately reported
- Some buyers report slower commercial cycles and procurement integration friction since the 2019 DXC acquisition
- Vertical specialisation limits fit outside automotive, capital markets, and travel-distribution — generic digital engineering work is often better served by EPAM, Globant, or Endava
- DXC's broader managed-services revenue model can create commercial pressure toward larger outcome contracts; pure engineering pod buyers may find scope creep
- Geographic concentration in Central and Eastern Europe creates ongoing geopolitical risk, though mitigated by India and Vietnam expansion
