Hexaware & Replit launch Vibe Coding to boost no-code AI apps

Hexaware has announced a new partnership with Replit, aiming to enable business users without coding experience to create enterprise-grade software through a platform called Vibe Coding.

This collaboration brings together Hexaware's approach to digital transformation and Replit's natural language-powered development platform, allowing for the rapid creation of secure applications by both technical and non-technical teams within organisations.

Expanding access to software creation

Replit's platform leverages natural language processing to permit professionals from departments such as Product, Design, Sales, and Operations to build and deploy secure software without needing programming skills. Hexaware's Vibe Coding solutions, integrated with Replit's platform, are designed to support co-creation between business and technical stakeholders at scale.

The partnership aims to speed up digital initiatives, reduce time-to-market, and increase customisation of business applications tailored to specific enterprise needs. By eliminating reliance on dedicated IT support for prototyping and tool development, the companies expect wider participation across organisations in software building processes.

Security and governance measures

Enterprise security features and governance protocols form a key part of the partnership. The secure Vibe Coding environments include advanced features such as Single Sign-On (SSO), role-based access controls, SOC2 compliance, and options for private deployments. Hexaware has committed to embedding further governance and security measures to ensure compliance with organisational IT policies.

"This partnership underscores Hexaware's commitment to democratizing software innovation with security and governance at its core," said Sanjay Salunkhe, President and Global Head of Digital and Software Services at Hexaware Technologies. "By combining our Vibe Coding framework with Replit's natural language interface, we're giving enterprises the tools to accelerate development cycles while upholding the rigorous standards their stakeholders demand."

Accelerating software development cycles

The companies state that the combined approach allows product and design teams to rapidly prototype and iterate on new ideas. Hexaware's established experience in agile methodologies will be used to ensure initiatives stay closely aligned with business goals and technical viability.

Sales, Marketing, and Operations teams may also benefit from the ability to build and adapt internal tools specific to their workflows, moving away from generic off-the-shelf solutions and the delays associated with IT backlogs.

AI-powered autonomy

Through agentic AI software architecture, the solution offers the ability for autonomous agents to manage complex backend tasks, enabling users to concentrate on higher-level logic and business outcomes. Hexaware brings additional experience in automation and artificial intelligence to reinforce these capabilities.

"Our mission is to empower entrepreneurial individuals to transform ideas into software - regardless of their coding experience or whether they're launching a startup or innovating within an enterprise," said Amjad Masad, CEO of Replit. "Forward-thinking companies like Hexaware are exploring Replit to rapidly prototype, build internal tools, and address unique business challenges with custom software solutions."

Recent forecasts from market analysts at IDC indicate that agentic AI is expected to be a significant driver of IT budget growth over the next five years, a factor that provides commercial context to the focus of the Hexaware and Replit partnership.

Wider digital transformation agenda

The integration of Hexaware's secure and governed framework with Replit's technology is positioned as part of a broader commitment to AI-first digital innovation. The companies suggest this will enable enterprises to pursue digital agility by expanding access to software creation tools and inclusive participation in business application development.

The partnership allows for increased autonomy and faster development for a range of business functions, advancing adoption of artificial intelligence and automation within everyday workflows across different sectors.
