IBM has officially opened its Agentic AI Innovation Centre in Bengaluru on July 16, aiming to help businesses co-create and experiment with autonomous AI agents. The new facility is designed to support enterprises in building AI agents, fine-tuning Small Language Models (SLMs), and auditing results within hours, reinforcing IBM’s commitment to practical, real-world AI adoption.
The centre is set to benefit clients, startups, and partners by accelerating the use of AI, enabling hands-on collaboration, and fostering innovation through close engagement with IBM’s AI experts.
During the launch, Dinesh Nirmal, Senior Vice President, IBM Software, said, “The IBM Agentic AI centre brings this vision to life by urging local enterprises to evolve their AI strategy from reactive to proactive.”
The centre will host Developer Hangouts and AI Accelerator Days to engage the wider community, encouraging continuous learning and deeper exploration into advanced AI technologies. These programs aim to spark collaboration that results in tangible, enterprise-ready outcomes.
A key element of the centre is IBM watsonx Orchestrate, a unified platform that helps businesses design, deploy, and manage AI agents while smoothly integrating them into existing systems.
Sandip Patel, Managing Director of IBM India and South Asia, highlighted the importance of strategic AI use. “To unlock its full potential and realise the vision of Viksit Bharat, Indian enterprises must deepen their understanding and focus on high-impact use cases,” he said. “With its new Agentic AI Innovation Center, IBM will drive industry-wide collaboration, nurture homegrown innovation, and ensure scalable, real-world impact within a strong governance framework.”
According to a recent IBM and Oxford Economics survey, 78 percent of Indian business leaders believe the biggest value of agentic AI lies in better decision-making. The same percentage are encouraging their teams to explore and experiment with these technologies, showing a growing culture of innovation and forward-thinking leadership.
