History

Informatica was founded in 1993 by Gaurav Dhillon and Diaz Nesamoney. [4] On 29 April 1999, its initial public offering on the Nasdaq stock exchange listed its shares under the stock symbol INFA. [5] [6]

In April 2015, Permira and CPP Investments announced that a company controlled by their funds would acquire Informatica for approximately US$5.3 billion; [7] this transaction was completed four months later, receiving investment from Microsoft and Salesforce Ventures as part of the deal. [8]

On August 6 2015, its stock ceased trading on the Nasdaq. [9] [10] [8] On 27 October 2021, Informatica again became publicly traded with the INFA stock symbol, this time listed on the NYSE, opening at $27.55 per share. [11]

In November 2023, five months after acquiring Privitar, a data management tool, [12] the firm announced a restructuring plan to focus on its cloud offerings. It permanently laid off 10% of its workforce and reduced its office space. [13]

In April 2024, the Wall Street Journal reported that Salesforce was in advanced talks to acquire Informatica at a price below its $11 billion market capitalization at the time; [14] the deal was eventually abandoned.

In May 2025, it was reported that the firm would be acquired by Salesforce for $8 billion. [15] subject to regulatory approval. [16] [17] In November, it was announced that the acquisition had been completed. [18]
