Kyndryl Holdings has announced a significant investment of $2.25 billion in India over the next three years, with a focus on modernizing technology infrastructure, developing AI talent, and establishing an AI Innovation Lab in Bengaluru. The investment aims to support digital training for approximately 200,000 citizens and deepen engagement with the Government of India on AI initiatives.

A key component of Kyndryl's investment plan is the establishment of an AI Innovation Lab in Bengaluru, which will be dedicated to advancing the company's AI-powered consulting services. The lab will include data scientists, consultants, and professionals offering collaborative co-creation experiences to help businesses adopt and implement AI, software, and platform engineering solutions [1].

Kyndryl's commitment extends to strategic engagement with the Indian government. The company plans to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Commerce & Industry on its Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) initiative. This collaboration aims to demonstrate how Kyndryl's AI platform, Kyndryl Bridge, and agentic AI capabilities can be applied to India's regulatory reform agenda [1].

A substantial portion of the investment will be directed towards developing IT talent and supporting digital training for approximately 200,000 citizens. Kyndryl plans to establish offices in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities to unlock high-potential talent and strengthen regional innovation ecosystems. Additionally, the company will partner with graduate schools and research centers to create a new early career program in India [1].

Kyndryl's social impact initiatives, supported by the Kyndryl Foundation, aim to provide resources to help train 200,000 beneficiaries across India, equipping them with in-demand digital skills. The Kyndryl Skilling program will expand access to advanced skilling courses, including DevSecOps, Cloud Operations, and Resilient Systems [1].

The investment comes at a time when Kyndryl is benefiting from higher demand for its offerings due to a push into AI. The company serves many of India's leading organizations across industries, including the international airport in Bengaluru, Canara Bank, and the National Stock Exchange of India [1].

Kyndryl's planned commitment includes establishing an AI Innovation Lab in Bengaluru, deepening its engagement with the Government of India on AI, developing IT talent, and supporting digital training for roughly 200,000 citizens. The company is focused on strategic areas that will contribute to India's digital public infrastructure goals and long-term economic health, including AI, cybersecurity, and hybrid IT modernization [2].
