In a move that underscores the growing enterprise demand for AI-driven process automation, HCLTech and UiPath announced a strategic partnership to scale agentic automation solutions for global organizations.

What the Partnership Brings
Under the agreement, HCLTech will deploy the UiPath Platform™ to help enterprises automate operations across departments including finance, procurement, customer service, marketing, and human resources. The goal is to reduce human intervention in repetitive processes while improving performance, compliance, and decision-making accuracy.
HCLTech will support these efforts with pre-built AI agents and frameworks designed for quick deployment and easy scalability. Additionally, the companies plan to develop Industry Focused Repeatable Solutions (IFRS) and minimum viable products (MVPs) tailored to sector-specific use cases.
“As we shift towards a new era with Agentic AI, agentic automation will be critical to provide businesses with the speed and agility to transform operations and unlock new business potential,” said Ashim Gupta, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer at UiPath. “Partnering with HCLTech allows UiPath to extend the power of its AI-powered automation to enterprises globally.”
Strategic R&D Hub in India
A key component of the partnership is the establishment of a joint AI Lab in India, where the companies will co-create automation lifecycle solutions—from strategy and deployment to optimization and management. The lab will serve as an innovation hub, helping enterprises across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific to pilot and scale automation quickly.
“By co-creating next-gen AI-powered solutions with UiPath, HCLTech is setting new benchmarks for agentic autonomous operations,” said Raghu Kidambi, Corporate Vice President and Global Head of Digital Process Operations at HCLTech.
Why This Matters
Agentic automation—where AI agents autonomously manage processes from initiation to outcome—is emerging as a major trend in enterprise IT. Rather than relying on static scripts or manual workflows, organizations are increasingly turning to AI systems that can analyze data, take initiative, and adapt to context. The HCLTech-UiPath collaboration aims to make this model more accessible to large organizations with complex operational environments.
This is particularly relevant as enterprises look to:
- Reduce operational costs and error rates,
- Improve response times and customer satisfaction,
- And transition to more agile, AI-integrated infrastructures.
