Infosys unveils AI-first framework
The framework, powered by its Infosys Topaz suite, will help enterprises unlock AI value at scale and move from experimentation to enterprise-wide AI operating models.
Infosys has unveiled its AI First Value Framework, positioning itself to capture an estimated $300-400 billion incremental AI services opportunity by 2030, as global enterprises accelerate adoption of generative and agentic AI.
The company, in a statement, said the framework, powered by its Infosys Topaz suite, will help enterprises unlock AI value at scale and move from experimentation to enterprise-wide AI operating models.
Citing a Nasscom-McKinsey report, Infosys described the shift as opening a new frontier in IT services.
Infosys' AI strategy rests on two pillars: capturing new demand across six AI value pools and embedding AI across its existing services to expand wallet share.
The six value pools include AI Strategy & Engineering, Data for AI, Process AI, Agentic Legacy Modernization, Physical AI, and AI Trust - spanning enterprise architecture design, AI-ready data platforms, workflow transformation, modernization of legacy estates, intelligent product engineering, and governance frameworks for responsible AI deployment.
Infosys said it is collaborating with 90% of its top 200 clients on AI initiatives, with more than 4,600 AI projects currently underway and over 30 new AI service offerings developed across the six value pools.
Nandan Nilekani, co-founder and chairman, Infosys, said IT services companies will play an even more critical role in the AI era. While AI agents can automate tasks and enhance productivity, enterprises still require deep systems integration, governance, trust frameworks, and large-scale transformation capabilities to fundamentally re-engineer their businesses.
As an AI-first company with over four decades of experience in guiding clients through technology shifts, Infosys is uniquely positioned to orchestrate AI across complex ecosystems and unlock significant value from the expanding global AI services opportunity, he said.
CEO and MD Salil Parekh added AI is a powerful enabler for the services industry and the AI First value framework uniquely positions Infosys to capture market share across these six value pools.
Infosys said it is leveraging its composable agentic services suite, Infosys Topaz Fabric, and partnerships with AI disruptors to deliver both AI-augmented and AI-first services globally.
Infosys is one of India’s largest IT services exporters, with operations spanning over 50 countries and a workforce exceeding 300,000 employees. Over the past decade, the company has steadily pivoted from traditional application development and maintenance to digital transformation, cloud migration, cybersecurity and data analytics services.
Its AI-focused push builds on earlier investments under the Infosys Topaz umbrella, which integrates generative AI, large language models and enterprise data platforms into client environments. The broader industry momentum is marked by rapid enterprise spending on AI-led modernisation, as organisations seek to re-architect legacy systems, optimise supply chains and deploy intelligent automation at scale.
Experts expect global AI-related IT services spending to grow sharply through the end of the decade, driven by demand for governance frameworks, AI model customisation, regulatory compliance and secure cloud infrastructure.
