India’s tech sector accelerates efforts to embed generative AI across enterprise operations. Bengaluru-based IT major Wipro has established a specialized unit for applied AI focused on Anthropic’s Claude models at its Bengaluru campus, as per a press release.
The nitty-gritty: The initiative is designed to help Wipro develop AI-powered platforms, industry-specific solutions, and enterprise applications using Anthropic's Claude. The company plans to train 10k employees on Claude models over the next 18 months and to expand AI use across internal functions, including finance, human resources, and sales.
Why it matters: The move comes as AI-driven automation reshapes the global technology services industry and raises concerns over the labor-intensive business model of India’s USD 315 bn IT sector. Earlier this month, Tata Consultancy Services also announced a partnership with Anthropic to help enterprises deploy AI solutions. Indian IT firms are increasingly bullish about partnerships with leading AI model developers to offset slowing services growth and protect market share.
