Powering Innovation with AI Ecosystems & Partnerships

Tapping Into the Power of the AI Ecosystem

How Organizations Accelerate Innovation through Strategic Partnerships

AI has exponentially accelerated the transformation trajectory for businesses, entering the mainstream to become a business priority and differentiator. AI early adopters continue to lead innovation in customer experiences, outpacing their traditional counterparts. Capital investment in AI has dramatically accelerated, requiring new policies and systems to support responsible AI growth. AI agents are set to drive enhancements across the value chain as soon as 2025.

74% of enterprises using GenAI report ROI within the first year, with 86% of those increasing revenue by 6%.

What’s becoming increasingly evident is that, with this pace of innovation, both collaboration and partnership across the ecosystem are essential to making the most of each breakthrough as it happens. By combining the strengths and capabilities of partners like Tech Mahindra, a Google Cloud Premier Partner, and Google Cloud, customers are seeing powerful outcomes. These partnerships are proving to be critical support for experimentation and full deployment of AI solutions across their businesses.

80% of organizations in our survey have increased their investment in generative AI from 2023.

Turbocharging Transformation

Many enterprises share common goals for embracing AI:

  • They seek operational efficiency through better workforce productivity.
  • They anticipate greater value from business data when they apply AI tools and technologies for better, actionable insights.
  • They expect the combination of productivity and insights to drive accelerated business innovation and growth.

AI represents a major platform shift. Whether they are considering technology infrastructure, or people and processes, or all of the above, every business and organization executive is thinking about how to drive transformation to capitalize on the promise of AI.
At TechMahindra, we are investing in the partnership with Google to enhance our overall AI offering portfolio and drive customer outcomes at an accelerated rate. Our collaboration extends from build of GenAI Studio – An experimentation workbench for GenAI use cases to now an Agent Launchpad for building AgenticAI solutions and delivering enterprise GenAI use cases for our customers.

AI-Driven Accuracy and Insights

An international automaker and Tech Mahindra client needed better access to timely market insights that would power transformative business decision-making. While this auto manufacturer collected volumes of customer focus-group data across its business, the data took various formats and relied on human analysis to make it actionable. This process took time, and the insights could be subjective. This global automaker selected Tech Mahindra to implement a GenAI-based solution to reduce manual errors and analysis subjectivity, and to summarize findings with citations.

Building a solution on Google Cloud using Google Gemini models on Vertex AI, Tech Mahindra helped the auto manufacturer reduce the time it took to generate high-quality insights by 70% — from months to weeks. The use of Google Gemini models, with their large context window and multi-modal capabilities, ensured accurate and comprehensive analysis of various input types like videos, images, and audio files. By automating the analysis process, the auto manufacturer market insights team was able to pivot its focus from manual data analysis to provide rapidly synthesized insights to company executives.

AI-Driven Employee Engagement

Another Tech Mahindra client, a home appliance manufacturer, is a well-known global home brand with a large, linguistically-diverse workforce. In multiple factory locations and across the company, employees speak more than 40 languages. At times, language differences could create challenges, especially when supervisors struggled to effectively communicate business directions and set daily objectives, impacting operational efficiency and employee engagement. There was a need for a secure, scalable AI-based solution to help bridge communication gaps, improve safety, and create a better work environment for employees.

Tech Mahindra developed a comprehensive solution leveraging modern technologies, like FlutterFlow for mobile application development, and Google Cloud for backend infrastructure, along with Gemini 1.5, Vertex AI, Firebase, and Google’s Identity and Access Management. The solution included a user-friendly mobile application to translate daily announcements into multiple languages, enabling workers to clearly understand their tasks. Workers could now easily ask questions in their preferred language and receive responses that were both relevant and comprehensible. The improvement in communication led to better employee understanding of priorities and workplace safety, and a stronger sense of connection. This has, in turn, increased operational efficiency and reduced misunderstandings on the production line for the home appliance manufacturer.

Enterprise AI Opportunity

Across sectors, Google Cloud focuses on making it easy and scalable for companies to innovate and grow with AI. Partnering closely with Google Cloud since 2021, Tech Mahindra has focused on developing industry-specific solutions on Google Cloud to help customers balance growth with innovation, enable operational scalability, and ensure seamless user experiences.

Tech Mahindra offers Agent Launchpad, a comprehensive framework designed to accelerate the evaluation, development, and deployment of enterprise-grade AI agents. Operating across four core layers, it seamlessly integrates with existing tools and platforms to deliver production-ready agentic AI asset and lifecycle management — from data management and integration, to the development, evaluation, and productization of LLM frameworks and agentic AI tools.

Tech Mahindra offers award-winning cloud assessments, a migration framework, and multi-industry scalable solutions, built on the Google Cloud suite of products. Leveraging our deep experience in systems integration, we provide clients with the industry capabilities and domain solutions that support their AI journey.
