LTM Bags AI-Led IT Infra Modernisation Mandate from UK’s SSP Group

LTM, formerly LTIMindtree, has partnered with UK-based travel food and beverage operator SSP Group to modernise its IT infrastructure and application support operations using artificial intelligence tools.

The financial details of the deal were not disclosed.

Under the engagement, the Larsen & Toubro group company will provide end-to-end IT infrastructure support and application maintenance services for SSP Group, which operates food and beverage outlets across airports, railway stations, and travel hubs globally.

The company said it will deploy its AI capabilities, including its BlueVerse ecosystem, to help SSP simplify infrastructure management, reduce operational risks, and improve business efficiency. The partnership will also focus on automation-led innovation, data-driven decision-making, and cost optimisation.

“With BlueVerse, an AI-first approach as well as a deep understanding of SSP market, we are committed to being a key enabler in their IT support and modernisation initiatives,” said Manju Kygonahally, Chief Business Officer – Europe, LTM, in a statement.

The deal comes at a time when Indian IT services firms are increasingly pitching AI-led infrastructure transformation and application management services to global enterprises seeking to modernise legacy technology systems while lowering operational costs.

“As we continue to advance our IT capabilities, having a trusted partner like LTM with deep domain expertise and a focus on AI-led innovation will help us accelerate our transformation, enhance efficiency, improve support operations and deliver greater value to our customers,” said Jon Wood, Chief Digital and Technology Officer, SSP Group.

SSP Group operates around 3,000 food and beverage outlets across 38 countries and employs nearly 49,000 people globally.

The partnership adds to the growing number of AI transformation deals being signed by Indian IT firms as enterprises increasingly shift spending toward automation, infrastructure simplification, and AI-enabled operational support.

Last week, LTM offered to acquire the technology and consulting services business of staffing major Randstad across parts of Europe and Australia, as it aims to deepen its presence in regulated industries and expand its AI-led services portfolio.
