IT services and solutions provider Hexaware Technologies partnered with upGrad Enterprise to offer employees training in advanced generative AI (Gen AI) concepts and tools. In this partnership, Hexaware will collaborate with upGrad to provide training for over 100 employees to become Gen AI architects. These architects will receive thorough training to help them create solutions and tackle business challenges by using Gen AI to guide clients towards their objectives.

Employees in certain grades with a strong technical or programming background, particularly in positions like technical architect, will be chosen for the program through assessment by a panel. Participants who are qualified must have received a high-performance evaluation in the past two years and finished both the Gen AI Foundation and Gen AI Advanced classes. It is preferable to have skills in deep learning and natural language processing (NLP). The program integrates traditional training with online learning modules.

Satyendu Mohanty, Executive Vice President & Global Head - Talent Supply Chain and L&D at Hexaware, said, "This collaboration with upGrad aligns with Hexaware's mission to rapidly build the Gen AI capabilities of its workforce. By investing in our employees' skills and capabilities, we aim to stay ahead in the evolving technology landscape and deliver value to our clients. This initiative emphasizes learning and innovation to equip our team with the requisite skills to address future demands.

Satyajith Mundakkal, CTO for Digital ITO and Gen AI Services at Hexaware, said, "Our collaboration with upGrad marks a step forward. By empowering our employees with advanced skills in Gen AI, we are enhancing our internal capabilities and cultivating a team of Gen AI architects. We look forward to these architects designing innovative solutions that will drive value for our clients."
