Indian IT Firms Deploy 300,000 Microsoft Copilot AI Licenses

Three major Indian IT services firms—Microsoft Corporation's partners Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys, and Wipro—have collectively deployed over 300,000 Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses in less than six months. This expansion doubles the 150,000 licenses held at the end of December 2025, with each company now exceeding 100,000 deployments to integrate AI agents into engineering, service delivery, and corporate operations.

The rollout has yielded significant productivity gains. Wipro reports over 95% monthly active usage and 250,000 full-time equivalent days saved quarterly. Infosys shows 91% active usage, while TCS reports that 86% of licensed associates use the tool daily, resulting in a 20-25% increase in research and content production productivity.

Microsoft is supporting this growth with a $17.5 billion investment in Indian data centers over four years, including a new region in Hyderabad scheduled to launch next quarter. Company leadership characterizes this shift as a transition from AI experimentation to a core operating model where human-led teams use agents to execute transactional work, positioning India as one of the fastest-growing markets for enterprise AI adoption in Asia.
