The company has been building a global pool of forward deployed engineers (FDEs) trained on Claude models who operate within client environments, combining knowledge of business processes and technology landscapes.
“Wipro is strengthening its enterprise AI leadership with the Applied AI Center of Excellence for Claude models, powered by Anthropic,” said Srini Pallia, chief executive officer and managing director, Wipro.
“This marks a fundamental shift in how we deliver, and advances our strategy of being consulting-led and AI-powered. By combining the power of Claude models with our deep domain and enterprise expertise, we are driving measurable business outcomes for our clients. Embedding FDEs within client environments, alongside integrating AI across our own operations, enables us to accelerate enterprise-scale adoption with a clear focus on business value,” he added.
The move is aimed at accelerating AI integration into workflows to deliver clear, measurable outcomes, reflecting a ‘proof over promise’ approach, Wipro said in a statement.
As part of its enterprise AI strategy, Wipro oversaw the certification of 10,000 front-line delivery experts on their use of Claude over the next 18 months. This is aimed at building a base of practitioners capable of designing, deploying, and operating AI-enabled systems in complex enterprise environments.
The CoE will push for development of AI-native platforms and industry solutions across mortgage, healthcare, airlines, manufacturing and consumer sectors. Claude models are embedded into Wipro’s platforms to enable co-innovation with clients in live environments. It can also be scaled across Wipro’s own finance, human resource, and sales functions.
The CoE marks a significant step in Wipro’s journey to operate as an AI-native enterprise, bringing together platform integration, deep model expertise, and embedded delivery to help clients adopt AI at scale and unlock its full potential, the company said.
