American Depositary Shares (ADS) of WNS rose to $21.45 a share in morning trading, up from their offering price of $20 a share.

WNS raised $89.5 million by selling 4.47 million ADSs to underwriters, according to a SEC filing made Wednesday. Some of that money will be used to pay underwriting fees.
