Tech Mahindra Partners With Microsoft To Modernise Workplace Experiences Using Gen AI

Tech Mahindra Ltd. has collaborated with Microsoft Corp. to modernise workplace experiences with Copilot for Microsoft 365—its generative artificial intelligence assistant—for customers and around 10,000 employees across 15 locations.

Tech Mahindra will work to improve workforce efficiency and streamline enterprise processes by leveraging Microsoft’s cloud platform and generative AI capabilities. Additionally, the company will deploy GitHub Copilot for 5,000 developers to increase developer productivity through access to AI capabilities, it said in a press release.

The company also plans to offer plugins within and outside the Microsoft app ecosystem to leverage multiple data sources and drive creativity and increase productivity.

“The collaboration with Microsoft, and the introduction of Copilot for Microsoft 365 and GitHub Copilot also marks a significant stride in Tech Mahindra's commitment to making AI accessible to everyone,” said Mohit Joshi, chief executive officer and managing director at Tech Mahindra. 

As part of the collaboration, Tech Mahindra has launched a dedicated copilot practice focused on helping customers leverage AI tools. The practice will include workforce training to help customers with assessment and preparation, which are important for integrating AI across an organisation. The company will also offer solutions to help customers assess, prepare, pilot and adopt business solutions that utilise Copilot for Microsoft 365.

“Our collaboration with Tech Mahindra will empower its employees with new generative AI capabilities to enhance workplace experiences and increase developer productivity through the adoption of Copilot for Microsoft 365 and GitHub Copilot,” said Judson Althoff, executive vice president and chief commercial officer at Microsoft.

In addition to their work with Copilot for Microsoft 365, Tech Mahindra recently launched a unified workbench on Microsoft Fabric. The workbench helps organisations accelerate the adoption of Microsoft Fabric, enabling them to create complex data workflows with a simple-to-use interface. 

Tech Mahindra and Microsoft have earlier developed solutions such as Generative AI-Powered Enterprise Knowledge Search, which integrates Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service, Azure Cognitive Search and Azure Language to enable enterprises to access and improve the knowledge quotient; Green CodeRefiner, a tool that transforms existing code into energy-efficient code with green standards; SenTindra, a cloud-based virtual security operations centre developed on Microsoft Sentinel; and COMPASS-Cloud Security Assessment and Global System Integrator solutions.
