HCLTech will leverage Gemini Enterprise and Gemini models to build custom AI agents for global customers, while enhancing collaboration and security through Google Workspace to support scalable, AI-driven transformation.

Key areas of focus include:
- Solution Innovation: HCLTech's AI Force platform, which builds unique offerings centered on data and AI, will integrate with Google's Gemini family of models and Gemini Code Assist to transform software development and IT operations. Furthermore, it offers Unified Migrations, including migrations of Oracle, SAP, and VMware to Google Cloud and security transformation.
- Agentic CoE: Expanding the Center of Excellence (CoE) to deploy industry-specific agent solutions. Building on existing offerings such as Insight for manufacturing and Netsight for the telecommunications industry, the company will drive the advancement of agentic AI solutions.
- Gemini Experience Zones: Innovation hubs for Physical AI will be launched in key locations worldwide.
- Talent Development: The number of personnel with Google Cloud certifications will be expanded from the current 12,000 to over 35,000 within three years.
