To demonstrate its intelligence, Indian IT builds AI laboratories around the globe.
After the US, UK, Germany, and Indian IT builds AI, Singapore is the sixth nation where the Noida-based company is establishing a facility of this kind. The news was made just days after Infosys, the second-largest software services provider in India, partnered with the University of Cambridge to open an AI lab in London, expanding its network of such facilities to over a dozen worldwide.
To demonstrate their AI and generative AI skills to current and potential clients, IT companies like Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, and HCLTech, as well as multinational giants like Accenture, have been establishing AI laboratories across the Americas, the Nordic region, and Japan.
According to industry analysts, these facilities also enable the businesses to collaborate with their clients to develop novel solutions. According to Pareekh Jain, CEO of the engineering insight platform EIIRTrend,
“existing clients can come, try, and discuss their problem statements, but they will also collaborate for proof of concepts in such labs after hearing from subject matter experts.”
Additionally, the labs aid in the development of fresh concepts and answers. Additionally, smaller and more recent clients would visit to assess their little pilots and move them to the production stage.
These labs would eventually develop into a fertile ground where the seeds for numerous significant IT agreements would sprout in the days ahead.

Accenture, located in Ireland, said last year that it will invest $3 billion in data and AI, and as part of that commitment, it created a number of labs throughout the world. At the recent opening of its GenAI studios in North America, Accenture said that “clients interested in pursuing commercial uses of generative AI will be able to visit the studios at Accenture Innovation Hubs in Chicago, Houston, New York, San Francisco, Toronto, and Washington, DC.”
In order to provide its clients in Asia Pacific and the Nordic region with access to its innovation ecosystem, TCS built two studios in August, one in Manila and the other in Stockholm. Additionally,
TCS will be able to co-innovate with clients in the studios to address their unique business requirements. In addition to similar centers in Amsterdam, London, New York, Pittsburgh, Toronto, and Tokyo, it announced earlier in May that a Global Artificial Intelligence Centre of Excellence would be established in Paris.
These AI laboratories are expanding on the success of comparable investments made by IT companies in previous years on the then-emerging themes of cloud, IoT, and 5G, according to Gaurav Parab, principal research analyst at NelsonHall.
According to him, businesses that create these centers are not only skilled at managing them but also understand how to maintain their relevance as artificial intelligence advances at a never-before-seen rate.
In March, Cognizant, a US-based IT services company with the majority of its staff based in India, announced the opening of an advanced AI lab in San Francisco. The lab’s goal is to advance the science and practice of AI by developing and innovating AI-enablement technologies and intellectual property.
