Cognizant, Infosys, TCS and Wipro partner with Microsoft to deploy Copilot and agentic AI

Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella today announced strategic partnerships with four leading IT companies — Cognizant, Infosys, TCS and Wipro to accelerate the adoption of agentic AI. Each of these companies will deploy over 50,000 Microsoft Copilot licenses, collectively surpassing 200,000 licenses, and setting a new benchmark for enterprise-scale AI adoption. This comes a day after Microsoft announced its plans to invest US$17.5 billion in cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, skilling and ongoing operations in the country over four years (CY2026-2029).

This collaboration is said to enable enterprises to enhance productivity, efficiency, and accessibility while driving AI-powered innovation across industries. “By embedding AI into core operations, these organizations are becoming Frontier Firms,” Microsoft said in a statement.

Puneet Chandok, President, Microsoft India and South Asia, said, “Cognizant, Infosys, TCS, and Wipro aren’t just embracing AI—they’re setting the global pace. These global enterprises are moving beyond experimentation to full-scale deployment, embedding Microsoft Copilot into the fabric of everyday work. This bold adoption is inspiring a new era of enterprise transformation, powered by trusted digital collaborators. The blueprint is being written here—where speed, scale, and impact converge to redefine what’s possible.”

Here's how the partnerships will come into play:

Cognizant: The company and Microsoft today announced an expanded partnership with the goal of making Microsoft’s generative AI and Copilots available to millions of users, to enterprise business operations, enhance employee experiences and cross-industry innovation. As “client zero” for Copilot, Cognizant has been able to refine Copilot and agentic solutions to drive value and enterprise-scale innovation for its clients – going beyond productivity gains and helping organizations fundamentally rewire how they access data, make decisions, and scale innovation.

Ravi Kumar S, CEO of Cognizant, said, “We’re experiencing the largest infrastructure investment in tech history, with companies investing hundreds of billions annually into AI infrastructure. As an AI builder company, our mission is to bridge the gap between these investments and extracting business value, ensuring our associates and clients benefit from Generative AI. Generative AI has the potential to revolutionize every business, in every industry, in unprecedented ways.”

Infosys has one of the world’s largest Copilot deployments and is infusing AI into daily workflows to drive productivity, decision-making, and client delivery at scale. By integrating Microsoft’s Intelligence Layer with Infosys Topaz Fabric™ and Infosys Cobalt®, Infosys is operationalizing multi-agent workflows and building a future-ready operating model.

Salil Parekh, Managing Director and CEO, Infosys, on this collaboration said, “As we scale AI across every dimension of Infosys, our collaboration with Microsoft is truly strategic. By deploying Copilot at scale and embedding AI deeply into our operating model for Infosys Topaz, we are shifting from traditional workflows to a human+ agent powered AI-first enterprise.”

TCS: TCS is partnering with Microsoft to transform Sales, Human Resources, and Finance functions through AI. Tools like M365 Copilot and GitHub Copilot is helping internal technology and operations teams autogenerate code and digitize processes. All TCS employees now have a personalized AI Coach, and Microsoft was a key partner in the recent global hackathon involving over 281,000 participants.

 “At TCS, we are building a future-ready organization. Our journey is anchored in bold transformation across talent, operations and client value delivery. TCS has equipped tens of thousands of its professionals with Microsoft AI solutions. Microsoft Cloud, data, and AI technologies are integral to our business transformation,” said K Krithivasan, CEO & MD, TCS.

Wipro: The company is in a three-year strategic partnership with Microsoft, launching the Microsoft Innovation Hub at Wipro’s Partner Labs in Bengaluru. Over 50,000 Copilot licenses have been deployed and more than 25,000 employees are being upskilled in Microsoft Cloud and GitHub technologies.

Srini Pallia, CEO & MD, Wipro Limited, said “‘Wipro Intelligence™’, our unified suite of AI-powered platforms, solutions, and transformative offerings, is helping us deliver game-changing outcomes that are reshaping how enterprises work and compete in the AI era.
