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]

On 7 April 2015, Permira and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board announced that a company controlled by the Permira funds and CPPIB would acquire Informatica for approximately US$5.3 billion.^[7] On 6 August 2015, the acquisition was completed and Microsoft and Salesforce Ventures invested in the company as part of the deal.^[8] The company's stock ceased trading on the Nasdaq effective on the same date.^[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 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 later reported to have been abandoned.^[15]
