Infosys deploying over 300 Agentic AI solutions, which deliver 5-15% productivity gains for clients: CEO Salil Parekh

Infosys reported an 8.7 percent year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit to Rs 6,921 crore for the quarter, beating Street expectations.

Information technology (IT) giant Infosys, on July 23, said it has deployed more than 300 Agentic AI solutions across client engagements and internal platforms, as enterprises are increasingly adopting generative AI (Gen AI) to drive automation, improve decision-making, and boost efficiency.

“These agentic AI platforms are helping clients with productivity and velocity in transformation, while also being embedded within client environments,” said CEO Salil Parekh at the Q1FY26 press conference. Adding that the company’s AI solutions span customer support, operations, software engineering, and decision-making use cases.

This assumes significance as Agentic AI has been rapidly deployed by IT companies in the recent past. Cross-town rival Wipro has built over 200 enterprise AI agents, with CEO Srinivas Pallia calling it a clear shift towards AI investments among clients.

Meanwhile, Parekh said agentic AI, which is the ability of AI systems to autonomously take action based on context, was moving from experimentation to mainstream adoption.

“We are moving beyond pilots. Enterprises are now scaling these AI agents,” he said, adding that the Bengaluru-based company is deploying both standalone AI Agents as well as integrating them with core enterprise systems.

Infosys also highlighted continued investments in platforms and talent. Over 2.5 lakh employees have been trained on AI and Gen AI capabilities, Parekh said.

The IT services exporter closed $2.1 billion in large deals in the June quarter, which is a four-quarter high, and Parekh explained that many of these had AI components. “We are seeing a stable macro environment and a growing appetite for AI-led and cost-efficient programs,” he said.

Q1 Performance

Meanwhile, Infosys reported an 8.7 percent year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit to Rs 6,921 crore for the quarter, beating Street expectations. It also beat revenue expectations, which grew by 7.5 percent to Rs 42,279 crore.

A Bloomberg poll of brokerages had pegged Infosys’ net profit at Rs 6,778 crore and revenue at Rs 41,724 crore.

The company is seeing sectoral pressures in manufacturing, logistics, and consumer products. However, the services exporter said it is seeing renewed demand in energy, utilities, and telecom.

In terms of regions, Europe continued to outperform North America. While year-on-year CC revenue growth was flat in the North American region, Europe saw a 12.3 percent increase.

Nevertheless, the latter remains Infosys’ largest market with over 55 percent share.

The company maintained its operating margin guidance at 20-22 percent for FY26. The Q1 operating margin was 20.8 percent, with pricing improvements and seasonal tailwinds offsetting some investment-related pressure, Chief Financial Officer Jayesh Sanghrajka said.

Margins reflected a 100-basis-point impact from wage increases, partially offset by around 70 basis points of benefit from improved pricing and seasonal efficiencies. Additional drag came from ongoing investments and third-party costs, Sanghrajka informed.
