Wipro enters into AI partnership with IISc
The alliance between Wipro and IISC will bring together senior faculty, researchers, and scientists from IISc with Wipro’s engineers, architects, and technologists to work on multiple aspects of AI.
Wipro, one of the leading Indian technology services providers has entered into an alliance with the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and the Foundation for Science Innovation and Development (FSID) to collaborate on cutting-edge research and innovation across frontier technologies.
The areas of cooperation will be in the segments of agentic AI, embodied AI, quantum AI, and quantum safe solutions with the goal of helping enterprises build more secure, adaptive, and autonomous digital operations.
Under the agreement, Wipro and IISc will establish a joint research program focused on quantum computing, advanced AI models, secure digital infrastructure, and new approaches to autonomous networks.
The programme will bring together senior faculty, researchers, and scientists from IISc with Wipro’s engineers, architects, and technologists. This collaboration is expected to enhance Wipro’s ability to deliver next-generation AI-powered capabilities across sectors such as telecom, manufacturing, financial services, and healthcare.
“By combining the strengths of IISc in advanced technical research with Wipro’s experience in applied innovation and industry solutions, we aim to address some of the most complex challenges and high impact opportunities, that global enterprises face in an increasingly fast-evolving technology landscape,” said Sandhya Arun, Chief Technology Officer, Wipro.
The statement said the partnership will help Wipro develop industry-ready platforms, scalable models, and new IP, which will be made available to clients on Wipro’s WINGS and WEGA delivery platforms, industry specific solutions and innovation offerings as part of Wipro Intelligence. For IISc, the partnership supports an expanded research capacity, deeper industry validation, and opportunities for technology transfer and commercialisation.
“Academia-industry collaboration is critical for solving complex scientific challenges and ensuring they create real-world value,” said Rajesh Sundaresan, Dean, Division of Electrical, Electronics and Computer Sciences (EECS), Indian Institute of Science (IISc).
This partnership will work in these segments: autonomous network intelligence, Agentic and embodied AI, advanced optimisation and secure computing models and next-generation digital trust and secure infrastructure frameworks.
