New Delhi: Kyndryl, the enterprise technology services provider spun off from IBM in 2021, will invest $2.25 billion in India over the next three years. The company said the investment will focus on establishing an AI Innovation Lab in Bengaluru, developing local technology talent, and expanding collaboration with the government on artificial intelligence and digital training initiatives.
The Bengaluru lab, modelled on Kyndryl’s existing AI centres in the UK and Singapore, will engage data scientists, consultants and other professionals to advance AI-driven solutions in areas such as governance, critical infrastructure and cyber resilience. The initiative also includes digital training programs designed to equip nearly 200,000 citizens with technology skills.
Kyndryl’s Chairman and CEO Martin Schroeter met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 22 August to discuss the expansion plans, which the government has positioned as aligned with India’s broader digital public infrastructure goals. Schroeter noted that the company aims to expand its technical capabilities while strengthening community partnerships.
Kyndryl India President Lingraju Sawkar added that the investment would enable customers to address their complex transformation needs and scale their operations. The company also announced it will host an AI Impact Summit in February 2026 to showcase AI-led initiatives and highlight its Kyndryl Bridge platform. Kyndryl currently serves a range of enterprises across sectors in India and is positioning its investment as part of a long-term strategy to modernise critical IT infrastructure, strengthen cybersecurity, and support the growth of India’s digital economy.
