Information technology (IT) major Wipro and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru on November 26 announced a research alliance to push work in areas such as agentic artificial intelligence, embodied AI, and quantum-safe technologies. The aim is to build more autonomous and secure digital systems for enterprises.
The partnership sets up a joint research programme spanning quantum computing, advanced AI models, secure digital infrastructure and autonomous networks, a release said.
IISc researchers will work with Wipro engineers to build platforms, models and intellectual property (IP) that can be deployed across telecom, manufacturing, financial services and healthcare.
The collaboration is intended to address complex enterprise technology challenges by applying academic research to real industry problems, Wipro chief technology officer (CTO) Sandhya Arun said.
“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,” Arun was quoted as saying in the release.
IISc’s Rajesh Sundaresan said the two institutions have worked together since 1979 and the new effort strengthens IISc’s ability to move innovations from the lab to industry.
Work under the alliance will include autonomous network intelligence for future 6G environments, agentic and embodied AI for industrial applications, quantum-inspired optimisation for critical sectors, and distributed ledger plus quantum-safe approaches for secure digital infrastructure.
