Cognizant has opened a new India Artificial Intelligence Lab and a Cognizant Moment Studio in Bengaluru, adding a dedicated research and experience hub to its global AI portfolio.
The Bengaluru facility will focus on developing business‑ready multi‑agent systems, AI decisioning, responsible AI, and AI‑for‑good initiatives. By concentrating on these areas, Cognizant aims to accelerate the deployment of agentic AI solutions that can make autonomous decisions while maintaining human‑centered design and ethical safeguards.
The lab complements Cognizant’s San Francisco AI Lab and is a tangible part of the company’s $1 billion generative‑AI investment announced in 2023. The expansion underscores Cognizant’s “AI builder” strategy, which seeks to bridge infrastructure investment with tangible business value for clients.
"Cognizant plays a pivotal role in enterprise AI by acting as an ‘AI builder,’ bringing together our platforms, partnerships and highly skilled workforce to bridge infrastructure investment and business value," said Ravi Kumar S, CEO. Benjamin Wiener, Global Head of Cognizant Moment, added, "The India AI Lab and Cognizant Moment Studio combine technological expertise with human insight to create a new generation of digital experiences that are intelligent, elegant, powerful and effective, delivered seamlessly to our clients." Babak Hodjat, Chief AI Officer, noted that Bengaluru’s talent pool will help expand work on scalable, reliable, and interoperable multi‑agent systems and trustworthy decision‑making.
The new lab is expected to strengthen Cognizant’s intellectual‑property portfolio, foster collaborations with Indian universities, and position the company as a leader in AI‑enabled digital transformation services. By leveraging local engineering talent and advanced research capabilities, Cognizant can accelerate innovation, reduce time‑to‑market for AI solutions, and deepen its competitive advantage in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
The opening aligns with broader industry trends toward responsible, agentic AI and reflects Cognizant’s commitment to delivering AI solutions that are both high‑impact and ethically sound. While no immediate market reaction data is available, the expansion signals the company’s confidence in the long‑term growth of AI services and its strategy to capture a larger share of the enterprise AI market.
