The partnership aims to Accelerate Enterprise Adoption of Agentic AI and Microsoft Copilot, as the four companies will collectively deploy over 200,000 Microsoft Copilot licenses, redefining work and innovation at scale.
Microsoft has strengthened its commitment to India’s fast-growing enterprise AI ecosystem by announcing strategic partnerships with major IT leaders—TCS, Cognizant, Infosys, and Wipro—to accelerate large-scale adoption of agentic AI and Microsoft Copilot across global business operations. The announcement came during Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella’s ongoing “India AI Tour,” with his Bangalore address on December 11 marking a pivotal moment in India’s AI transformation journey.
As part of this collaboration, Microsoft will deploy 200,000 Copilot licenses across partner organizations, integrating advanced generative AI and agentic AI capabilities into everyday productivity platforms such as Microsoft 365. This rollout is expected to become one of the biggest corporate AI deployments worldwide, enabling IT service giants to modernize workflows, boost employee efficiency, and enhance delivery for global enterprise clients.
According to the company, embedding Copilot into core digital operations will unlock major improvements in productivity, decision-making, customer experience, software development, and innovation pipelines. Nadella emphasized that India is emerging as a global leader in agentic AI, with enterprises moving rapidly from experimentation toward large-scale implementation.
Puneet Chandok, President of Microsoft India & South Asia, stated, “Cognizant, Infosys, TCS, and Wipro aren’t just embracing AI—they’re setting the global benchmark. These enterprises are shifting from pilot projects to full-fledged deployment, embedding Microsoft Copilot into day-to-day work and leading the next phase of enterprise AI transformation.”
The update follows Microsoft’s recent announcement of a historic $17.5 billion investment in India to expand cloud, AI, and sovereign data infrastructure. Nadella also spotlighted India’s rapid acceleration in agentic AI adoption, citing use cases such as Cognizant’s multi-agent systems, Wipro’s AI-powered finance and sales agents, and Swiggy’s real-time data-driven AI agents.
Nadella’s India AI Tour concludes in Mumbai today, i.e. December 12, where he is expected to meet with key business executives, developers, and policymakers to further reinforce Microsoft’s long-term vision of making India a global AI innovation hub.
