Together, we will harness the power of generative AI to deliver innovative solutions, drive AI adoption and enable unprecedented innovation for customers.”

The collaboration aims to deliver innovative solutions that improve the customer experience and accelerate enterprise AI adoption. This includes integrating Microsoft's generative AI with Infosys' existing solutions such as Infosys Topaz, Cobalt, and Aster.

The collaboration between Infosys and Microsoft Generative AI began when Infosys became an early adopter of GitHub Copilot, resulting in significant efficiencies in code modernization and completion.

Infosys' GitHub Copilot is the Customer Zero leader, with over 18,000 developers currently generating and using over 7 million lines of code from Copilot. Coupled with its recently launched industry-first GitHub Center of Excellence (CoE), Infosys is uniquely positioned to deliver enterprise AI innovation to customers worldwide.
