Cognizant Advances Enterprise AI With Tailored Agents

Cognizant announced on February 20, 2026 that it is expanding enterprise AI capabilities with a new India AI Lab in Bengaluru and investments in agent customization, research, and partnerships. The company said its India team of about 30 researchers complements its San Francisco lab (which holds 61 US patents) and described a new Evolutionary Strategies fine-tuning method that is less compute-hungry. Cognizant emphasizes contextualizing agents and workforce training for enterprise deployments.
