Al is reshaping how software is built, says Arun
Wipro Limited, (NYSE: WIT, BSE: 507685, NSE: WIPRO) and Factory, a leading agent-native software development platform from San Francisco and a portfolio company of Wipro Ventures, have announced on 28 Jan a strategic partnership to help enterprises operationalize agent-native development across their engineering organizations.
Wipro Ventures, the corporate investment arm of Wipro Limited, also announced its participation in Factory’s recent funding round.
Factory enables engineering teams to delegate meaningful portions of software development to AI agents, called Droids, across the development lifecycle. When implemented across an organization, Droids enable feature development, refactors, migrations, testing and more to be completed at a greater efficiency and scale than ever before while preserving existing engineering standards and architectural consistency.
Wipro will integrate Factory’s capabilities into its WEGA agent‑native delivery platform to further enhance Wipro Intelligence™, the unified suite of AI-powered platforms, solutions, and transformative offerings. Factory will be rolled out across tens of thousands of engineers thereby accelerating the creation of production-ready code and helping Wipro shorten innovation cycles, enhance code quality, and unlock greater value for its clients. Wipro will offer Factory-enabled solutions to its clients across key industry sectors including banking and financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, and technology.
“Al is reshaping how software is built across the enterprise with large scale transformation across engineering,” said Sandhya Arun, Chief Technology Officer, Wipro Limited. “Our partnership with Factory reflects a broader shift among global enterprises, from Al experimentation towards production-scale adoption. Together we will help clients modernize faster and accelerate development using safe, production-grade autonomous agents.”
Ali Wasti, Managing Partner, Wipro Ventures, noted, “Enterprises today are under immense pressure to innovate faster while maintaining quality and security. Our investment reinforces Factory’s strength as an enterprise-grade AI platform and Wipro Ventures’ commitment to backing cutting-edge AI platforms that transform enterprise software development.”
“We are excited to partner with Wipro to bring autonomous software development to global enterprises,” said Matan Grinberg, Co‑Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Factory. “Wipro’s strong enterprise relationships and engineering capabilities, combined with Factory’s AI‑native development platform, create a powerful foundation for organizations looking to significantly improve software delivery performance.”
