Bengaluru: Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella on Thursday announced strategic partnerships with four leading IT companies — Cognizant, Infosys, TCS and Wipro — where each of these companies will deploy over 50,000 Microsoft Copilot licenses, collectively surpassing 200,000 licenses and accelerating the adoption of agentic AI.
Microsoft is joining hands with the four leading IT companies to deploy Microsoft 365 Copilot and transform the way organisations operate, innovate, and scale.
With over 50,000 Microsoft Copilot licenses that will be deployed across each of the four IT giants, this partnership underscores the transformative potential of agentic AI — intelligent systems capable of taking initiative, driving decisions, and generating insights autonomously — aims to create new avenues for growth and competitiveness.
Powered by Microsoft, Cognizant, Infosys, TCS, and Wipro are enabling global enterprises to lead in the AI-driven economy, harnessing AI that acts not just as a tool, but as a strategic driver of business outcomes.
The four companies will collectively deploy over 200,000 Microsoft Copilot licenses, redefining work and innovation at scale.
This comes a day after Microsoft announced its plans to invest $17.5 billion in cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, skilling and ongoing operations in the country over four years.
“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,” said Puneet Chandok, President, Microsoft India and South Asia.
According to Ravi Kumar S, CEO of Cognizant, “We’re experiencing the largest infrastructure investment in tech history, with companies investing hundreds of billions annually into AI infrastructure”.
“Our collaboration with Microsoft and investment in Copilot are creating new opportunities for innovation, efficiency, and growth. Generative AI has the potential to revolutionise every business, in every industry, in unprecedented ways,” he mentioned.
