TCS, Infosys, Wipro double Copilot AI licences within six months

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys, and Wipro have doubled the number of Microsoft Copilot AI licences for their employees within six months, according to livemint.com.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys, and Wipro have doubled the number of Microsoft Copilot AI licences for their employees within six months, according to livemint.com. This rapid increase highlights the growing integration of AI tools in India’s $315-billion IT outsourcing sector as of early June 2026.

The three IT giants expanded their Copilot user base significantly, with Infosys and Wipro reporting about 91% and 95% of their Copilot users active monthly, respectively. TCS noted that 86% of its Copilot-licensed associates use the AI tool in their daily work. This adoption reflects a strategic shift towards embedding AI-powered virtual assistants in routine operations to enhance productivity.

The surge in Copilot licence uptake underscores a broader trend in the Indian IT industry, where AI adoption is reshaping workflows and potentially impacting traditional billing models and hiring practices. The $315-billion outsourcing industry is at a crossroads, balancing AI integration with existing service delivery frameworks. The high engagement rates at these firms indicate a strong acceptance of AI tools among employees, setting a benchmark for peers in the sector.

The increase in Copilot licences at TCS, Infosys, and Wipro was reported on June 3, 2026, by livemint.com, marking a notable milestone in AI adoption within India’s IT services landscape.
