Bengaluru, India, — December 11, 2025 — Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella today announced strategic partnerships with four leading IT companies — Cognizant, Infosys, TCS and Wipro—as they join forces with Microsoft 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).
Microsoft is joining hands with the four leading IT companies to deploy Microsoft 365 Copilot and transform the way organizations operate, innovate, and scale. This collaboration is enabling enterprises to enhance productivity, efficiency, and accessibility while driving AI-powered innovation across industries.

With AI at the heart of operations, these firms are setting new benchmarks for productivity, innovation, and enterprise transformation.
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.
Puneet Chandok, President, Microsoft India & 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.”
