Google Cloud today announced a strategic partnership with Wipro Limited, a leading technology services and consulting company, to integrate Gemini Code Assist into its development workflows. This collaboration is set to transform the software development landscape by enhancing developer productivity, improving code quality, and encouraging innovation.
Gemini Code Assist acts as a powerful AI-powered collaborator within a developer’s environment, helping developers write, review, and debug code more efficiently. With its context-aware understanding, Wipro’s developers achieve real-time code completions, generate entire functions or code blocks from comments, code explanations, and even help with debugging and refactoring. This accelerates development cycles, reduces errors, and enables developers to focus on higher-level problem-solving. Additionally, Gemini’s citation features provide transparency into the sources used for code generation, promoting ethical coding practices and informed decision-making. Overall, Gemini Code Assist is empowering Wipro developers to be more productive, confident, and innovative in their coding endeavors.
Commenting on the announcement, Gabe Monroy, Vice President, Developer Experience at Google Cloud expressed “This partnership with Wipro underscores our commitment to fostering innovation and empowering developers with the full potential of Google Cloud AI capabilities. With Gemini Code Assist, we are enabling developers to build transformative solutions that will reshape India’s software ecosystem.”
“At Wipro we are using conversational AI/Gen AI technology to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of the work done by associates on an individual basis. Tools like Google Cloud’s Gemini Code Assist will significantly enhance first party productivity among our developers enabling them to deliver higher quality solutions more efficiently,” said Anup Purohit, Chief Information Officer, Wipro Limited.
A recent report by NASSCOM highlights that the demand for software developers in India is projected to grow by 20% annually, with an estimated need for over 1 million additional developers by 2025. This partnership between Wipro and Google Cloud addresses this growing demand by equipping developers with advanced AI tools that boost efficiency and accelerate their learning curves, positioning them to meet the rapidly evolving needs of the industry.
With its extensive developer community and a robust presence in the global IT export market, India is well-positioned to benefit from the adoption of gen AI tools such as Gemini Code Assist. As Indian developers and ITs embrace such tools and technologies, India can solidify its position as a global leader in software development and IT services industry.
