Hexaware Technologies, the IT services and solutions company wishes for its employees to be GenAI architects. Therefore, it has tied up with the corporate skilling and workforce-development wing of an edtech firm to provide employees with training in advanced generative AI (Gen AI) concepts and tools.
This collaboration with upGrad will see over 100 employees from Hexaware becoming trained Gen AI architects. The comprehensive training will enable these employees to develop solutions and address business challenges using Gen AI, to steer clients toward their goals.
The employees will be selected for the programme after being assessed and graded by a panel. Those with the required strong technical or programming background, preferably in roles such as technical architect, will stand a good chance to be part of the programme. Eligible participants must have achieved a high-performance rating over the last two years and completed both the Gen AI Foundation and Gen AI Advanced courses. Proficiency in deep learning and natural language processing (NLP) is preferred. The programme combines instructor-led training and eLearning modules.
Satyendu Mohanty, executive vice president and global head–talent supply chain and L&D, Hexaware, feels this collaboration “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 emphasises learning and innovation to equip our team with the requisite skills to address future demands.”
Satyajith Mundakkal, CTO, digital ITO and Gen AI services, Hexaware, is sure this collaboration will empower employees with advanced skills in Gen AI, “enhancing internal capabilities, cultivating a team of Gen AI architects.” He looks forward to these “architects designing innovative solutions that will drive value for our clients.”
