Wipro Partners with Indian Institute of Science for Advanced AI and Quantum Research Initiative

Wipro Teams Up with IISc for AI & Quantum Research | AIM

Both will set up a joint research program focused on quantum computing, advanced AI models, secure digital infrastructure, and new approaches to autonomous networks. Wipro has partnered 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. The organisations aim to accelerate breakthroughs in areas like agentic AI, embodied AI, quantum AI, and quantum safe solutions, to help enterprises build more secure, adaptive, and autonomous digital operations. 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. The company said that the alliance is amplified by the capabilities of the Wipro Innovation Network to drive co-innovation, accelerate enterprise transformation, and deliver scalable AI solutions. Wipro chief technology officer Sandhya Arun said, "We aim [through the partnership] 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 commercialisation. IISc dean (division of electrical, electronics and computer sciences) Rajesh Sundaresan recalled the history of partnership between the two and said that the current partnership strengthens IISc's ability to advance research in intelligent systems, digital infrastructure, and secure computing. Areas of work as part of the collaboration include autonomous network intelligence and next-generation agentic AI to help telecom and connectivity-driven sectors. Other areas include agentic and embodied AI for real-world and simulated environments, and advanced optimisation and secure computing models to strengthen enterprise resilience across financial services, energy, supply chain, and critical infrastructure sectors.

Wipro partners with IISc to drive research, innovation in frontier technologies

The collaboration, which will be supported by Wipro Intelligence's suite of AI-powered solutions, platforms, and offerings, aims to drive breakthroughs in agentic AI, embodied AI, quantum AI, and quantum-safe solutions to help enterprises build more secure, adaptive, and autonomous digital operations, Wipro said in a statement. IT services major Wipro on Wednesday announced its partnership with the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and the Foundation for Science Innovation and Development (FSID) to advance research and innovation in frontier technologies. The collaboration, which will be supported by Wipro Intelligence's suite of AI-powered solutions, platforms, and offerings, aims to drive breakthroughs in agentic AI, embodied AI, quantum AI, and quantum-safe solutions to help enterprises build more secure, adaptive, and autonomous digital operations, Wipro said in a statement. The partnership builds on a longstanding relationship between Wipro and IISc, dating back to 1979 when the two institutions first partnered on the design and development of microprocessor-based mini-computer systems. Wipro and IISc will establish a collaborative research initiative targeting quantum computing, sophisticated AI models, secure digital infrastructure, and innovative autonomous network methods. The programme will unite senior IISc faculty, researchers, and scientists with Wipro's engineers and technology experts. The teams will work on solutions with real-world impact, including autonomous network intelligence for future 6G environments, agentic and embodied AI for manufacturing and robotics, and advanced optimisation and secure computing models for financial services and critical infrastructure sectors. "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," Wipro Chief Technology Officer Sandhya Arun said. The partnership is expected to accelerate the development of industry-ready platforms, scalable models, and new intellectual property, which will be made available to clients through Wipro's WINGS and WEGA delivery platforms as part of the Wipro Intelligence suite. For IISc, the alliance supports expanded research capacity, deeper industry validation, and opportunities for technology transfer and commercialisation. FSID, a non-profit set up by IISc in 2020, connects stakeholders to IISc's deep science and technology expertise.
