US-based IT giant Kyndryl has announced an investment of $2.25 billion, approximately ₹19,575 crore, in India over the next three years. The initiative aims to strengthen the country’s talent ecosystem, accelerate artificial intelligence development, and support digital transformation. A major highlight of this investment is the creation of an AI Innovation Lab in Bengaluru, closely aligned with the Government of India’s IndiaAI Mission.
“We’re committed to further developing our people, expanding our technical capabilities and strengthening community partnerships to support growth, innovation and opportunity,” said Martin Schroeter, Chairman and CEO of Kyndryl.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi also welcomed the announcement, saying, “India warmly welcomes global partners to explore the vast opportunities in our nation and collaborate with our talented youth to innovate and excel. Together, we all can build solutions that not only benefit India but also contribute to global progress.”
Kyndryl already works with leading Indian organisations including Godrej Consumer Products Limited Products, Honda Motorcycles and Scooter India, Noida International Airport, and NSE India. The company plans to expand these partnerships further to help customers meet their transformation needs and scale operations for long-term growth. “With this commitment, Kyndryl is focused on further supporting our customers in meeting their diverse transformation needs and scaling their operations for the next era of growth,” said Lingraju Sawkar, President of Kyndryl India.
The company is also looking beyond metro cities, with plans to open offices in tier 2 and tier 3 cities. This expansion is expected to build local talent pools, encourage regional innovation, and foster collaborations with graduate schools and research institutions through early-career programs.
In addition, Kyndryl has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Commerce and Industry under the Ease of Doing Business initiative. The collaboration will leverage AI to support regulatory reforms, reflecting Kyndryl’s focus on advancing India’s long-term digital and economic development.
