Wipro announced an expanded partnership with ServiceNow to scale agentic AI workflows across various enterprise functions, causing a sharp rally in its stock.
This move signals a strategic shift toward automating complex business processes. By integrating agentic AI into core operations, Wipro aims to capture a larger share of the enterprise automation market and improve operational efficiency for its clients.
The partnership focuses on deploying AI across four primary areas: IT, HR, procurement, and cybersecurity. These agentic workflows are designed to handle tasks more autonomously than traditional AI tools, reducing the manual overhead required for enterprise management.
Market reaction to the news was immediate. Wipro's American Depositary Receipts (ADR) soared 18% [1] on the New York Stock Exchange. Other reports indicated a more general market rally for Wipro shares of over four percent [2].
Analysts said that the stock surge was not driven solely by the ServiceNow agreement. A concurrent buyback plan provided additional support to the share price, reinforcing investor confidence in the company's financial health and growth trajectory.
While the specific financial terms of the ServiceNow expansion were not disclosed, the focus remains on scaling these AI capabilities to meet the increasing demand for autonomous enterprise functions.

The surge in Wipro's valuation reflects a growing investor appetite for 'agentic AI'—systems that can act autonomously rather than just generating text. By targeting high-friction areas like procurement and cybersecurity, Wipro is positioning itself as a critical implementation partner for ServiceNow's platform, potentially shifting its revenue model from traditional labor-based consulting to high-value AI orchestration.
