    Baring Private Equity Asia and its affiliated funds (“BPEA”) today announced that BPEA has successfully completed the acquisition and privatization of Virtusa Corporation (NASDAQ GS:VRTU) (“Virtusa” or the “Company”), a global provider of digital strategy, digital engineering, and IT services and solutions that help clients change and disrupt markets through innovation engineering.
