India’s leading technology services and consulting company, Wipro, announced on Wednesday that it has launched a new Center of Excellence (CoE) on Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) in partnership with the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi.
The Wipro CoE on Generative AI is anchored within the Yardi School of Artificial Intelligence (ScAI) at IIT Delhi, and will support foundational and applied research, nurture talent, and expand the state of the art in this critical field.
The partnership underscores Wipro’s commitment to driving ongoing innovation in emerging technologies and is part of the company’s $1 billion commitment to accelerating AI-led innovation as part of the Wipro ai360 ecosystem.
"We are excited to partner with IIT Delhi to foster accelerated innovation in some of the most exciting emerging areas of technology," said Subha Tatavarti, Chief Technology Officer at Wipro Limited. "This collaboration will not only enhance our research & development capabilities in emerging areas, such as generative AI, but will also connect us with a talent pool that will help us build advanced solutions to address existing and emerging business problems."
Besides Generative AI as one of the frontier technologies, Wipro is putting step forward in other emerging techs as well. To recall, earlier this year in February, the company's innovation lab 'Wipro Lab45' launched its Blockchain-powered Decentralized Identity and Credential Exchange (DICE) ID, which puts users in control of their personal data and enables faster, easier and secure sharing of private information online.
The CoE will serve as an R&D hub, bringing together Wipro researchers with ScAI faculty members and graduate students to address at-scale real-world problems. Wipro CoE teams will jointly work on building innovative solutions using AI, ML (machine learning.
Dr. Ajay Chander, Head of Research & Development at Wipro Limited, said, “Collaborating with the eminent and multidisciplinary faculty at IIT Delhi and its research partner ecosystem will help us realize our vision of Engineered Prosperity faster,"
Professor Mausam, Head of the Yardi School of AI at IIT Delhi, added: "We are delighted to collaborate with Wipro to create new learning and growth opportunities for our students. Through the creation of this Center of Excellence, our students will gain valuable insight into problems of relevance to industry and will learn first-hand how their technical know-how transfers to commercial environments. Ultimately, our partnership with Wipro will be a win-win for everyone, and significantly contribute to India’s advancement in these critical new technology fields.”
Few months back, an another leading Indian IT services company, HCLTech announced its partnership with Microsoft to help enterprises harness Generative AI. In the same month, Infosys announced free certification courses including an introductory course on AI and Generative AI, with a focus on deep learning and natural language processing, and a masterclass on AI and the impact of Generative AI, that will aim to focus on prompt engineering and AI-first software engineering.
