OpenAI has partnered with Infosys to integrate its artificial intelligence tools, including coding assistant Codex, into the Indian IT giant’s Topaz AI platform.
Infosys said the integration will be used to help clients modernize software development, automate workflows, and deploy AI systems at scale, with an initial focus on software engineering, legacy modernization, and DevOps.
Indian IT services companies are facing increasing pressure from slowing customer spending and rapid advances in generative AI. Infosys shares have fallen more than 22% this year amid a widespread sell-off triggered by a weak outlook, investor concerns that AI tools will automate some traditional outsourcing tasks, and macroeconomic disruption from the U.S.-Iran war.
The move also reflects a broader trend of AI companies partnering with global IT service providers to expand adoption in large enterprises. OpenAI previously partnered with HCLTech, and Infosys has a similar deal with Anthropic.
OpenAI has gained distribution channels to large enterprises through Infosys’ global customer base and distribution capabilities across more than 60 countries. The companies said the partnership is aimed at helping companies move from experimentation to large-scale deployment.
Infosys is strengthening its AI business. The company said earlier this year that AI-related services generated 25 billion rupees (about $267 million) in revenue in the December quarter, about 5.5% of the total.
The deal is part of OpenAI’s broader push to expand its footprint of companies through initiatives such as Codex Labs announced Tuesday, where engineers will work with customers to help them deploy tools. Initial partners include Accenture, Capgemini, CGI, Cognizant, Infosys, PwC, and Tata Consultancy Services, and OpenAI aims to build a distribution network to scale adoption of Codex, which currently has more than 4 million weekly active users.
