Infosys, TCS and Wipro cross 300,000 Microsoft Copilot seats as India’s IT giants deepen enterprise AI push

India’s three largest IT services companies, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services and Wipro have collectively expanded their Microsoft 365 Copilot deployments to more than 300,000 employees.  

Microsoft said each of the three companies now has more than 100,000 Microsoft 365 Copilot licences in use, up from deployments of around 50,000 seats announced in December 2025. The company described the rollout as one of its largest enterprise AI deployments globally and a sign that organisations are increasingly embedding AI agents into day-to-day workflows rather than treating them as standalone productivity tools.  

“At this level of scale, the impact of AI is no longer measured solely by time saved or productivity gained—it is defined by how organizations operate, compete, and grow,” said Judson Althoff, CEO of Microsoft Commercial Business, in a statement.  

Microsoft said the deployments align with what it calls “Frontier Firms”, organisations that redesign work around teams of humans and AI agents. According to the company, Microsoft 365 Copilot now has 20 million paid seats globally, with seats added during the latest quarter growing more than 250%.  

AI partnerships reshape India’s IT landscape

The Copilot expansion is taking place alongside a series of strategic alliances between Indian IT firms and the world’s leading AI labs.

Earlier this year, Infosys announced a partnership with Anthropic to develop industry-specific AI agents using Anthropic’s Claude models and the Infosys Topaz platform. The collaboration initially targets telecommunications before expanding into financial services, manufacturing and software development.  

HCLTech, meanwhile, became one of OpenAI’s first strategic services partners through a multi-year agreement aimed at helping enterprises deploy OpenAI technologies at scale. The Tata Group has also partnered with OpenAI. Under the arrangement, TCS will help enterprises integrate OpenAI’s technology globally while Tata develops AI infrastructure and data centre capacity in India.  

Adoption moves beyond experimentation

Among the three Microsoft customers, Infosys reported more than 91% monthly active usage among Copilot users as it integrates AI across engineering, delivery and corporate functions.  

TCS said 86% of employees licensed for Copilot actively use AI in their daily work. The company reported productivity gains of 20–25% in research and content creation tasks, twice-faster insight generation and a 25–35% reduction in selected work-cycle times.  

Wipro reported over 95% monthly active usage of Copilot. According to the company, employees generate 7.5 million prompts every month, saving more than 250,000 full-time-equivalent workdays per quarter. Wipro also said it has developed more than 29,000 employee-built agents and over 60 enterprise-grade AI agents across business functions.  

"What Infosys, TCS and Wipro are doing is remarkable. They are putting Copilot at the heart of how their teams work—pairing intelligence with trust, at a scale only true enterprise leaders can deliver. This is the shift we are seeing with our most ambitious customers: moving from experimenting with AI to building their businesses around it. The best AI deployments translate an organization's own intelligence into decisions that reshape customer engagement, business processes, and growth — and global IT majors are doing exactly that with Microsoft. It is a powerful example of Intelligence + Trust in action, and of how Frontier Firms turn AI into durable competitive advantage," said Puneet Chandok, President, Microsoft India, and South Asia.
