Leadership continuity has been ensured, with all senior leaders asked to stay having accepted their roles, the company added .
The company is also advancing a cost optimisation programme targeting general and administrative functions, which is expected to deliver a 20–25% reduction in G&A costs for the combined business within the projected timelines, supporting its margin guidance .
Front-end commercial and sales teams of both organisations are set to begin collaborative operations immediately after closing, signalling confidence in the strategic rationale and synergy realisation, Coforge said.
