GenAI Fuels IT's SLM, Drug Solutions

Leading IT firms like TCS, Infosys, and Wipro are leveraging Generative AI to develop small language models, drug discovery platforms, and AI-driven solutions. With growing client interest, these companies are heavily investing in AI innovations across multiple industries.
  
Infosys has developed four small language models for banking, IT operations, cybersecurity, and enterprise applications. 
 
CEO Salil Parekh highlighted that GenAI discussions are widespread, with clients eager to integrate AI into their operations. 
The company is also creating over 100 new GenAI agents for deployment, collaborating with AI partners to enhance solutions.
 
TCS has advanced GenAI in drug discovery. CEO K Krithivasan shared that TCS partnered with a global life sciences firm to accelerate cancer drug development. 

 
By generating 1,300 molecules optimized for drug-like properties, TCS identified 12 promising candidates for further synthesis and testing.
 
AI, cloud services, and GenAI are driving significant business transformation, with a strong focus on cost optimization. 
 
The BFSI sector, in particular, is adopting GenAI at an accelerated pace to improve operational efficiency and cybersecurity.
 
Salil Parekh emphasized that Infosys is integrating proprietary datasets into its AI models, ensuring industry-specific customization. The company has also developed audit agents to automate complex tasks for professional services firms.
 
Wipro expects a major increase in AI spending by 2025-26. Wipro CEO, Srini Pallia noted that while clients remain cautious, discretionary spending on AI solutions is rising. Businesses are optimistic about AI-driven transformation and cost-saving innovations.
 
Srini Pallia also highlighted Wipro’s early adoption of Agentic AI, which enhances productivity beyond traditional automation. This technology is expected to improve customer service, supply chain management, and business processes.
 
As IT firms refine their AI models and collaborate with AI partners, the industry is set for a transformative shift. Enterprises are deploying AI for automation, analytics, and intelligent decision-making.
 
With GenAI playing a crucial role in shaping the future of technology, companies are positioning themselves at the forefront of AI-driven digital transformation, ensuring long-term growth and competitive advantage.
