Hexaware Technologies announced an expanded collaboration with upGrad Enterprise to deliver AI skilling and enterprise transformation programs globally. This initiative aims to strengthen AI capabilities, foster GenAI upskilling, and establish upGrad as Hexaware’s preferred partner for enterprise AI development. The collaboration focuses on technical and business teams, enhancing service lines through AI expertise and cloud architecture.
Hexaware and upGrad Enterprise Forge Deeper AI Partnership
Hexaware Technologies, an Al-first digital and IT services company, has announced an expanded collaboration with upGrad Enterprise, the corporate skilling arm of upGrad. This strategic alliance is set to deliver comprehensive Al skilling and enterprise transformation programs to Hexaware’s global clientele. The initiative is designed to build a robust foundation for long-term advancements in Al expertise and workforce transformation within client organizations.
Building on Existing Strengths
This new arrangement builds upon a previous successful partnership that focused on enhancing Al capabilities across Hexaware’s internal workforce, including enterprise-wide GenAl upskilling and the launch of the Agentic Al Academy. Under the renewed agreement, upGrad Enterprise will now serve as Hexaware’s preferred partner for enterprise Al capability development. Both companies will collaborate on go-to-market strategies and client engagement, evolving the relationship into a broader global alliance.
Comprehensive AI Programs for Diverse Teams
The expanded collaboration will offer a portfolio of programs tailored for both technical and business teams. Key inclusions are:
- Verticalized Al learning tracks aligned with industry-specific use cases.
- Role-based Agentic Al programs for technical, business, and corporate functions.
- Executive Al Innovation Labs and co-design workshops for C-suite leaders.
- An Al-enabled Coding Center of Excellence, co-created Al experimentation environments, and sandbox tooling.
- Rapid prototyping, build-day formats, joint Al playbook components, and custom enterprise transformation programs.
Driving Enterprise Outcomes with AI
These programs are engineered to assist enterprises in scaling their Al business and service lines. They will focus on upskilling Cloud Architects to GenAl Architects roles and developers in Al engineering capabilities. Technical leaders will gain expertise in designing data- and Al-first solutions, while business teams can leverage GenAl tools and autonomous agents for workflow automation and decision-making.
R. Srikrishna, CEO & Executive Director, Hexaware, commented, “Enterprise Al programs are increasingly constrained by execution capacity. Clients need architecture, engineering, and business teams aligned to a common delivery agenda—a synergy that embeds workforce readiness directly into that strategy.”
Real-World Application and Future Focus
Hexaware and upGrad Enterprise have already demonstrated the value of their partnership by delivering a successful three-day Al training program in March 2026 for executives and senior engineering managers from a major banking client, highlighting the growing demand for enterprise Al capabilities within the financial services sector.
The collaboration will also extend to working with hyperscalers and Al-native venture partners. These combined efforts are expected to improve engineering outcomes, leading to faster releases, better code quality, and fewer bugs, thereby enabling enterprises to scale GenAl responsibly with enhanced governance, productivity, and innovation.
Arushee Aggarwal, CEO, upGrad Enterprise, stated, “Enterprise skilling has to influence how people make decisions, design solutions, and deliver work. With Hexaware, we can build that rigor into programs spanning executive priorities, engineering practice, and functional adoption.”
