The company plans to extend the value of Copilot with plugins within and beyond the Microsoft app ecosystem, leveraging multiple data sources to drive creativity and increase productivity. The collaboration focuses on improving efficiency, reducing effort, and enhancing quality and compliance across the organization.
Mohit Joshi, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Tech Mahindra, stated, “Our vision is to transform the workplace experience by empowering every employee to excel and innovate using cutting-edge AI technology.

Furthermore, Tech Mahindra will offer comprehensive solutions to help customers assess, prepare, pilot, and adopt business solutions that utilize Copilot for Microsoft 365. The organization is committed to using insights gained from the Copilot practice to benefit both customers and employees.
