Infosys shares in focus following strategic AI partnership with Cognition

Infosys shares were in focus on Thursday, January 8, 2026, after the company announced a strategic collaboration with Cognition, the AI coding agent company behind Devin, the first AI software engineer.

The collaboration aims to integrate Devin into Infosys' global engineering operations and client delivery frameworks.

Infosys aims to deploy Devin across its internal engineering teams and client engagements. The integration will be deployed through Infosys’ Topaz Fabric, a purpose-built AI suite that combines infrastructure, models, data, applications, and workflows into a modular, agent-ready ecosystem.

The integration of Infosys Topaz Fabric and Cognition’s autonomous engineering tech is expected to fast-track software development and modernisation.

“Our collaboration with Cognition marks a significant step forward in accelerating AI value realisation for global enterprises. By integrating Cognition’s advanced agentic and autonomous engineering expertise with our industry-leading domain and delivery capabilities, we are creating a differentiated value proposition for the market. This synergy is further enhanced by Infosys Topaz Fabric, which will serve as a catalyst for modernisation and innovation for clients to achieve their strategic objectives,” said Salil Parekh, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director at Infosys.

Over the past six months, Infosys has been using Devin internally, resulting in improved engineering quality and efficiency. It now plans to embed Devin across its delivery models and engineering environments, scaling the solution within its global operations.

Supporting this adoption, Infosys and Cognition will jointly develop industry-specific solutions, AI-native modernisation blueprints, and scalable engineering frameworks. These initiatives will be backed by co-innovation labs and enablement programs, with a strong focus on secure, enterprise-grade deployments.

As part of the first phase of client rollouts, Infosys’ Financial Services division is leveraging Devin to modernise engineering delivery across banking, payments, capital markets, insurance, and wealth management.

Infosys Topaz Fabric and Devin are also expected to automate field engineering tasks, reduce tech debt, and create virtual engineers to address production and maintenance challenges.

The IT major also announced that it will declare its results for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, on Wednesday, January 14, 2026.
