Cognizant, TCS, Infosys, and Wipro have announced plans to roll out more than 200,000 Microsoft Copilot licences in total, with each company committing to deploy over 50,000 licences.
With this combined deployment crossing 200,000 licences, the four firms are setting a new standard for large-scale, enterprise-wide adoption of artificial intelligence tools.
Microsoft has described all four companies as “frontier firms” because of how extensively they are adopting Copilot and agent-based AI across their organisations.
The announcement highlights how leading IT services companies are deliberately positioning themselves at the forefront of AI-led transformation in the enterprise space.
This development follows Microsoft’s announcement a day earlier that it plans to invest $17.5 billion in India over four years (calendar years 2026–2029) to expand cloud and AI infrastructure, skill development, and ongoing operations.
The Copilot deployment will be embedded into everyday workflows across consulting, software development, operations, and client delivery functions.
Through this integration, employees will be able to use AI to improve productivity, encourage innovation, and make decisions more quickly.
The primary goal of deploying Copilot at this scale is to empower employees with generative AI capabilities that streamline tasks, automate processes, and speed up digital transformation.
The scale of the rollout—over 200,000 licences across four companies—reflects a coordinated and strategic approach rather than isolated experimentation.
Because these firms collectively serve a large number of Fortune 500 clients, the impact of this AI adoption is expected to extend beyond India and influence industries globally.
Microsoft Asia emphasized that this move sets new benchmarks for enterprise AI adoption and signals a shift in how IT services may be delivered in the future.
By embedding Copilot into daily operations, these companies are expected to reshape IT service delivery across areas such as coding, testing, client engagement, and business strategy.
Puneet Chandok, President of Microsoft India & South Asia, said, “Cognizant, Infosys, TCS, and Wipro aren’t just embracing AI—they’re setting the global pace.”
He added that these companies are moving beyond experimentation to full-scale deployment by embedding Microsoft Copilot into everyday work practices.
Chandok also noted that this large-scale adoption is helping spark a new phase of enterprise transformation driven by trusted digital collaborators.
According to him, the approach being taken by these firms represents a blueprint where speed, scale, and impact come together to redefine what is possible with enterprise AI.
