For the IT services industry, this shift presents a significant opportunity as they collaborate with clients to enhance their upskilling efforts.

India's second-largest IT services player Infosys recently announced a deal with German tech giant Siemens AG to accelerate its digital learning initiatives with generative AI. The collaboration aims to provide over 250,000 Siemens' people globally with upskilling opportunities, and a personalized learning and growth experience.

Siemens' My Learning World, a digital learning platform that is accessible from anywhere anytime, will leverage Infosys Topaz, an AI-first offering using generative AI technologies, and Infosys Wingspan, an AI-powered next-gen enterprise learning experience platform.

Jasmeet Singh, EVP and global head of manufacturing, Infosys said, "Infosys rolled out Lex to its employees that helped them learn, anytime, anywhere and on any device. Building on this success, we expanded our vision, and extended Lex to empower both our clients and the wider community."
