Tech Mahindra has partnered with SpaceXSI to help businesses update older software and develop applications faster using artificial intelligence.
The Indian IT services company said the collaboration will support clients across technology, telecommunications and financial services.
The partnership will also bring in Grok Build, a chatbot that Tech Mahindra plans to use to create solutions tailored to specific industries.
The companies did not disclose financial terms or provide a timeline for deployment.
Applying AI to older software
Many organizations rely on legacy applications built years ago. These systems can be costly to maintain and difficult to connect with newer tools.
Updating them can also require significant developer time.
Tech Mahindra said the partnership will use AI to support application modernization and software development.
In practice, AI tools can assist developers with tasks such as understanding existing code, creating or adapting software, and building solutions for particular business needs.
The companies have not detailed which tasks Grok Build will handle.
The focus on industry-specific solutions suggests the tools will be adapted to different customer requirements.
Technology companies, telecom operators and financial institutions often use specialized systems and operate under distinct technical and regulatory conditions.
A new AI collaboration for Tech Mahindra
Tech Mahindra already has similar partnerships involving Google Gemini and Microsoft.
However, this is the first time an Indian IT services major has announced a collaboration with SpaceX’s AI division, according to the report.
The agreement gives SpaceXSI a route to work with business customers through an established technology services provider.
For Tech Mahindra, the partnership adds another AI platform to its offerings as clients look for ways to update software and automate development work.
The companies have not shared details about customer projects, expected productivity gains or how they will measure results.
Those details will help show how broadly the tools can be used in commercial settings.
For now, the announcement signals a growing role for AI in enterprise software work.
The partnership’s impact will depend on how well the tools fit existing systems and whether clients can adopt them securely and reliably.
