Hexaware & upGrad Enterprise Expand Collaboration for Global AI Programs
Hexaware Technologies and upGrad Enterprise are expanding their collaboration to deliver global AI skilling and enterprise transformation programs. This alliance focuses on joint upskilling, experimentation, and go-to-market initiatives, aiming to accelerate AI adoption for Hexaware's clients. The partnership will enhance workforce readiness and drive innovation in AI capabilities.
The expanded collaboration in AI skilling and enterprise transformation is significant and aligns with industry trends, but its direct financial impact will depend on client adoption and successful execution.
The announcement details an expanded strategic partnership focused on developing AI capabilities and enterprise transformation, which is a positive development for the company's growth and service offerings.
Hexaware Technologies Limited (HEXT) and upGrad Enterprise, the Corporate Skilling and Workforce Transformation division of upGrad, have announced an expanded collaboration to deliver AI skilling and enterprise transformation programs for Hexaware clients globally. This initiative builds upon their previous work in strengthening AI capabilities, including enterprise-wide GenAI upskilling and the launch of the Agentic AI Academy.
Under the new arrangement, upGrad will serve as Hexaware’s preferred partner for enterprise AI capability development. The collaboration will focus on joint upskilling, experimentation, go-to-market initiatives, and client engagement, evolving from an internal skilling focus to a broader global go-to-market alliance. The program portfolio includes verticalized AI learning tracks tied to industry use cases, role-based Agentic AI programs for various functions, Executive AI Innovation Labs, an AI-enabled Coding Center of Excellence, co-created AI experimentation environments, and custom enterprise transformation programs.
The initiative aims to support enterprises in scaling their AI business and service lines by upskilling Cloud Architects to GenAI Architects and developers to AI engineering roles. It also enables business teams to leverage GenAI tools and low-code agents for automation. R. Srikrishna, CEO & Executive Director, Hexaware, highlighted the need for aligned architecture, engineering, and business teams for effective enterprise AI programs. The collaboration will also involve working with hyperscalers and AI-native venture partners, aiming for approximately 30-40% faster releases, improved code quality, and fewer bugs, while supporting responsible GenAI scaling with stronger governance, enhanced productivity, and innovation.
Arushee Aggarwal, CEO, upGrad Enterprise, emphasized that enterprise skilling must influence decision-making, solution design, and delivery. Hexaware and upGrad Enterprise previously conducted a three-day AI training program in March for executives and senior engineering managers from a major banking client, demonstrating the growing demand for enterprise AI capabilities in the financial services sector.
