Tech Mahindra ties up with SpaceX's AI arm to modernise old software (opens the source in a new tab)
- Tech Mahindra, India's fifth-largest IT firm, has partnered with SpaceXSI, the AI division of SpaceX, to help companies modernise legacy applications and speed up software development.
- It will also use the Grok Build chatbot to create industry-specific tools, starting with technology, telecom, and banking and financial services clients.
- Tech Mahindra already has similar pacts with Google Gemini and Microsoft; Reuters says this is the first time an Indian IT major has teamed up with SpaceX's AI unit.
Why it matters Indian IT grew by maintaining old systems. Selling AI that rewrites them shows firms embracing the automation that could shrink their own people-heavy model.
Other side Partnership announcements are cheap, and Tech Mahindra already has similar deals with Google and Microsoft. Revenue, not logos, will show whether clients pay for AI-led modernisation.
