Tech Mahindra, Google Cloud push agentic AI in Gemini

Tech Mahindra has set out plans to expand enterprise use of Google's Gemini Enterprise platform by building on Gemini 2.5 multimodal models, in a move that targets large-scale deployment of so‑called "agentic" artificial intelligence across core business functions.

The Indian technology services company said it will combine its AI engineering teams and implementation frameworks with Google Cloud's AI tools. The partnership targets customers that want to move from pilot projects to production AI systems embedded in day‑to‑day operations.

Gemini Enterprise is Google's offering for corporate users of its Gemini model family. Tech Mahindra said it will focus on the development of specialised AI agents that run on Gemini 2.5 and sit inside wider enterprise workflows.

These agents will include governance and safety guardrails. They will link into Google Cloud's ecosystem, including the Vertex AI managed AI platform and the BigQuery data warehouse. Tech Mahindra also plans to connect the agents into customers' existing data‑to‑AI pipelines.

Agentic AI focus

The companies describe "agentic AI" as a new phase of automation, in which AI systems can take actions, reason over context, and work across multiple applications on behalf of users. Tech Mahindra said demand for such systems is rising as organisations look beyond narrow generative AI use cases.

Amol Phadke, Chief Transformation Officer at Tech Mahindra, said many enterprises now want AI systems that cut across functions such as operations, customer service and finance.

"As enterprises evolve from AI experimentation to AI-driven business transformation, they require secure, scalable, and enterprise-ready intelligence that can operate across diverse business environments. Through our collaboration with Google Cloud and Gemini Enterprise, we are equipping organizations to embed AI into core operations with confidence, enabling intelligent, connected, and secure ecosystems powered by next-generation Agentic AI," said Phadke.

Tech Mahindra said the joint work with Google Cloud will target measurable business outcomes in areas such as productivity and process optimisation. It also said the approach will place emphasis on responsible and human‑centred AI.

Responsible AI push

The company is positioning the collaboration in the context of growing concern about AI risk management. Industry surveys often indicate that only a minority of organisations have comprehensive controls in place around model use and data governance.

Tech Mahindra said its AI adoption framework will embed governance and safety checks into the AI agents built on Gemini Enterprise. It aims to align that framework with internal compliance teams and sector‑specific regulations.

The company's "AI Delivered Right" strategy sits behind the initiative. It is based on four pillars that it describes as Transformation Delivered, Productivity Delivered, Innovation Delivered and Assurance Delivered. The approach emphasises trust, governance and business‑aligned impact in AI deployments.

As a Google Cloud Premier Partner, Tech Mahindra has worked on previous cloud and AI projects on the platform. The new focus on Gemini Enterprise extends that relationship into multimodal models that process text, code and other inputs in a single system.

Google Cloud partnership

Google Cloud is using partners such as Tech Mahindra to expand the reach of its AI products into large enterprises. It sees agent‑based approaches as a way to structure complex generative AI workflows in a way that fits corporate IT standards.

Victor Morales, Vice President, Global Systems Integrator Partnerships at Google Cloud, said AI agents could influence both cost and growth levers at customers.

"Agentic AI offers a powerful opportunity to reshape business models and unlock greater efficiency across every enterprise. By combining their deep industry expertise with Google Cloud's leading AI solutions, Tech Mahindra helps businesses meet this opportunity and deploy powerful solutions to solve complex business challenges," said Morales.

Tech Mahindra has developed a portfolio of what it describes as ready‑to‑deploy agentic AI solutions. It has also set up dedicated Centres of Excellence for Google Cloud AI. These units house certified staff who specialise in design, deployment and management of AI workloads on the platform.

The new effort will draw on Tech Mahindra's Orion framework, which the company uses to structure AI implementations. It plans to adapt Orion for Gemini Enterprise projects so that engagement models, reference architectures and governance patterns can be reused across clients.

Tech Mahindra employs more than 150,000 people and serves over 1,100 clients worldwide in sectors that include telecoms, manufacturing, financial services and retail. The company expects interest in agentic AI to cut across most of these industries as enterprises look for AI systems that can work with multiple back‑office and customer‑facing applications.

Both companies said they aim to support enterprises that want AI systems with stronger reasoning abilities and closer integration with existing systems. They forecast that connected reasoning agents will sit at the core of many future business processes and deliver outcomes with greater speed and precision.
