Bengaluru, Dec 11 (NationPress) The Chairman and CEO of Microsoft, Satya Nadella, unveiled significant partnerships with four prominent IT firms — Cognizant, Infosys, TCS, and Wipro. Each company will implement over 50,000 Microsoft Copilot licenses, resulting in a total surpassing 200,000 licenses and propelling the adoption of agentic AI.

Microsoft is collaborating with these four IT leaders to roll out Microsoft 365 Copilot, revolutionizing the operational, innovative, and scaling capabilities of organizations.

With the support of Microsoft, Cognizant, Infosys, TCS, and Wipro are equipping global enterprises to excel in the AI-driven economy, leveraging AI not merely as a tool, but as a strategic catalyst for business results.

The combined deployment of over 200,000 Microsoft Copilot licenses will redefine the landscape of work and innovation.

This announcement follows Microsoft's plan to invest $17.5 billion in cloud and AI infrastructure, skills development, and ongoing operations in the nation over the next four years.

These enterprises are transitioning from experimentation to full deployment, integrating Microsoft Copilot into daily operations,” stated Puneet Chandok, President of Microsoft India and South Asia.
