E. BRUNSWICK, N.J. | BENGALURU, India – Nov. 26, 2025: Wipro Limited (NYSE: WIT, BSE: 507685, NSE: WIPRO), a leading AI-powered technology services and consulting company, today announced a strategic alliance with the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and the Foundation for Science Innovation and Development (FSID) to collaborate on cutting-edge research and innovation across frontier technologies.
This alliance is amplified by the capabilities of the Wipro Innovation Network—a cornerstone of the Wipro Intelligence™ suite of AI-powered solutions, platforms and transformative offerings —to drive co-innovation, accelerate enterprise transformation, and deliver scalable AI solutions.
Under the agreement, Wipro and IISc will establish a joint research program focused on quantum computing, advanced AI models, secure digital infrastructure, and new approaches to autonomous networks. The program will bring together senior faculty, researchers, and scientists from IISc with Wipro’s engineers, architects, and technologists. This collaboration will enhance Wipro’s ability to deliver next-generation AI-powered capabilities across sectors such as telecom, manufacturing, financial services, and healthcare.
“We are excited to partner with Indian Institute of Science (IISc) to accelerate innovation in AI and other prioritized frontier technology themes,” said Sandhya Arun, Chief Technology Officer, Wipro Limited. “By combining the strengths of IISc in advanced technical research with Wipro’s experience in applied innovation and industry solutions, we aim to address some of the most complex challenges and high impact opportunities, that global enterprises face in an increasingly fast-evolving technology landscape.”
The partnership will help Wipro develop industry-ready platforms, scalable models, and new IP, which will be made available to clients on Wipro’s WINGS and WEGA delivery platforms, industry specific solutions and innovation offerings as part of Wipro Intelligence™. For IISc, the partnership supports an expanded research capacity, deeper industry validation, and opportunities for technology transfer and commercialization.
“Academia-industry collaboration is critical for solving complex scientific challenges and ensuring they create real-world value,” said Rajesh Sundaresan, Dean, Division of Electrical, Electronics and Computer Sciences (EECS), Indian Institute of Science (IISc). “Wipro and IISc have had a long history of partnership and collaboration, since at least 1979 when the two embarked on the design and development of microprocessor based mini-computer systems. The current partnership with Wipro strengthens IISc’s ability to advance research in intelligent systems, digital infrastructure, and secure computing. Together, we look forward to creating innovations that move from the lab to industry and society.”
The teams will work to accelerate the development of transformative solution with real-world impact in areas including:
- Autonomous network intelligence and next-generation agentic AI to help telecom and connectivity-driven sectors build self-managing, predictive, and high-performance networks, including future 6G environments.
- Agentic and embodied AI for real-world and simulated environments, enabling advancements in sectors such as manufacturing, automotive, robotics, and industrial operations
- Advanced optimization and secure computing models that apply new methods in high-performance and quantum-inspired computing to strengthen enterprise resilience across financial services, energy, supply chain, and critical infrastructure sectors.
- Next-generation digital trust and secure infrastructure frameworks using distributed ledger innovations and quantum-safe approaches to enable secure transactions and future-ready digital systems for BFSI, healthcare, and public services.
The Wipro Innovation Network brings together global innovation labs and partner ecosystems, Wipro Ventures, its crowdsourcing platform Topcoder, alliances with leading academic and research institutions, and Wipro’s deep technology talent and capabilities to create an ongoing loop of ideation, research and innovation.
