Microsoft signs three-year deal with Wipro under fresh India AI push

Indian IT services major Wipro has signed a three-year deal with global tech giant Microsoft to offer artificial intelligence (AI) transformation tools to enterprises. The contract comes as the Copilot maker doubled down on its AI investments in India.

Under this contract, the two companies will build solutions for financial services, retail, manufacturing, healthcare and life sciences, airports, and other sectors, Wipro told the exchanges on Friday.

The duo will offer Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365 Copilot, GitHub Copilot, Azure AI Foundry, and third-party integrations to enterprises, as well as Wipro’s NetOxygen, Wealth AI, and Falcon Supply Chain solutions.


The partnership is part of Microsoft’s next phase of AI rollout in India, announced by chief executive Satya Nadella during his recent visit. The initiative involves deployments of its Copilot and agentic AI systems at India’s top IT firms Tata Consultancy Services, Cognizant, Infosys, and Wipro.

Speaking at the Microsoft AI Tour in Bengaluru on Thursday, Nadella said these four companies have emerged as “frontier firms”, with each deploying more than 50,000 Microsoft Copilot licences and building “AI factories” that create industry-specific digital agents and experiences.

“These firms are not just adopting Copilot across the enterprise, they’re building deep agent factories and integrating them into customer workflows,” Nadella said, adding: “They’re shaping what the future of enterprise AI looks like from India.”

Nadella also announced a $17.5 billion investment in India to build AI infrastructure in the country. This is over and above the $3 billion investment announced in January 2025.

This will be Microsoft’s largest investment in Asia. Its commitment for the next four years is also bigger than the $15 billion that Google, the Adani Group, and Airtel announced last month for the Vizag AI hub, which is considered one of the biggest foreign direct investments in India’s history.
