US-based Saxon Global Inc, a provider of IT consulting and solution engineering services, has acquired Bangalore-based mobility solutions firm Wit Innovation Technologies Pvt Ltd for an undisclosed amount.

It has worked with clients across 16 countries and has built products for iOS, Android, BlackBerry and Windows Phones.

It was founded in 2006 by Sachin Garg (CEO) and Vibhor Gupta (COO). A B Tech from IIT Varanasi, Garg is also CEO of MinT Loyalty Services. He had earlier worked at Cisco, Intel Corp and Symbol Technologies. His partner Gupta holds a MBA degree from Indian School of Business (Hyderabad), and had earlier worked at Wipro, Cognizant and Infosys.

"As a lot of our long-time customers started to demand several services in emerging technologies like Business Intelligence and cloud apart from enterprise mobility, we thought it may be best to merge with a company which can help fulfil our customers' need and we found a perfect match in Saxon Global. With these added services, size and presence across the globe, we are looking forward to provide even more value to our existing customers and add new customers," said Garg.
