Kyndryl AI Innovation Lab
Kyndryl is establishing an AI Innovation Lab in Bengaluru to advance the Company’s AI-powered consulting services. The Lab will include data scientists, consultants and professionals offering collaborative co-creation experiences to help businesses adopt and implement AI, software and platform engineering solutions. Similar to the AI labs Kyndryl has established in the UK and Singapore, the Bengaluru Lab will focus on hiring and training professionals with skills in AI and associated technologies, including data, cloud, applications and platform engineering.
Consistent with the priorities of the INDIAai Mission, Kyndryl is contributing enterprise-grade AI capabilities including digital public infrastructure, governance transformation and economic competitiveness. As part of this initiative, Kyndryl will utilize the new Lab in Bengaluru to lead high-impact engagements that showcase AI for governance, critical infrastructure and cyber resilience. These initiatives will culminate at the AI Impact Summit being hosted by the Government of India in February 2026, where Kyndryl will feature its award-winning AI-enabled operating platform, Kyndryl Bridge, which has been recognized globally for leveraging AI efficiency at scale.
Deepening Strategic Engagement with the Government of India on AI

As part of this commitment, Kyndryl plans to establish offices in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities to unlock high-potential talent and strengthen regional innovation ecosystems, as well as partner with graduate schools and research centers to create a new early career program in India.
Social Impact at Scale
Through the company’s social impact initiatives and grants by the Kyndryl Foundation, Kyndryl aims to provide resources to help train 200,000 beneficiaries across India, equipping them with in-demand digital skills. As part of this, Kyndryl is launching the Kyndryl Skilling program, which will expand access to advanced skilling courses including DevSecOps, Cloud Operations, and Resilient Systems. The program will be integrated within the portal of the National Institute of Electronics & Information Technology (NIELIT) to upskill students and professionals in new technologies.
