HCLTech buys Robotiq.ai for €9M

HCLSoftware plans to buy Croatia-based Robotiq.ai for an enterprise value of €9 million in cash, taking 100% of the equity in a deal expected to close by November. The regulatory-filing summary says Robotiq.ai generated €1.4 million in 2025 revenue, while HCLSoftware’s announcement frames the purchase as a way to automate applications where APIs are unavailable. Buyers following enterprise automation’s move from orchestration to execution should treat the €9 million price as a small integration bet, not proof that RPA has become an autonomous-agent moat.
