Navitas Business Consulting, Inc. has acquired Claros for $232.8 million in an all-cash transaction. The deal, which closed earlier this week, transfers full ownership of Claros’s technology portfolio and operational assets to Navitas, making Claros a wholly owned subsidiary of the consulting firm.
Claros operates as a power management solutions company, working at the intersection of power and compute to make artificial intelligence more sustainable and broadly accessible. Its engineering focuses on reducing the cost and complexity of power delivery through a combination of proprietary hardware and software. The company’s stated goal is to lower energy consumption, optimize power distribution, increase compute performance, and improve the overall efficiency of AI operations.
Navitas Business Consulting, Inc. provides management and technology advisory services to enterprise clients, with a particular emphasis on operational efficiency and digital transformation. The acquisition of Claros adds a deep hardware and software engineering capability to Navitas’s service offerings, a shift from its traditional consulting model. Navitas management indicated that the purchase was driven by client demand for more integrated solutions that address the physical infrastructure challenges of AI deployment, rather than purely advisory work.
The strategic rationale centers on combining Navitas’s client relationships and implementation expertise with Claros’s proprietary power management technology. By owning Claros outright, Navitas can embed power optimization directly into the systems it designs for clients, potentially reducing the time between assessment and deployment. The transaction also gives Navitas control over a technology stack that could be licensed to third parties, creating a new revenue stream independent of consulting fees.
For Claros, the acquisition provides access to Navitas’s established enterprise sales channels and capital resources, which may accelerate the commercialization of its products. The combined entity will operate with Claros’s engineering team remaining intact, reporting to Navitas’s technology division. The immediate focus is on integrating Claros’s software tools into Navitas’s existing client engagements, with a secondary goal of developing standalone power management products for the broader AI infrastructure market.
