Scaling AI Infrastructure in a ₹34,579 Crore Revenue Quarter

HCLTech announced its global partnership with Anthropic against a backdrop of steady financial growth, having reported a quarterly revenue of ₹34,579 crore for the period ending June 2026, a 13.94 percent year-on-year increase. The company is set to establish a dedicated Anthropic Business Unit and a Center of Excellence to engineer Agentic AI solutions and provide secure sandbox environments for enterprise deployments of Claude. This initiative is designed to help global clients transition from experimental AI projects to large-scale operations.

The move follows a robust Q1 FY27 performance where new deal bookings reached $2,407 million, providing significant scale for high-value technology integrations.

Embedding Claude Across the HCLSoftware Ecosystem

  • HCLSoftware becomes an Anthropic ISV partner to embed Claude capabilities into enterprise tools
  • Integration into HCL BigFix and HCL AppScan to enhance cybersecurity and automated remediation
  • Claude and Claude Code to power IT support and code remediation on the AIForce platform
  • Introduction of frontier safety guardrails and policy-driven exception handling for high-impact changes
  • Enabling Actian AI analyst to leverage advanced models for business process applications

Strategic AI Roadmap and Recent Industry Alliances

This partnership is the latest milestone in HCLTech's aggressive AI expansion strategy. On July 24, 2026, the company partnered with Sarvam AI for a ₹14,257 crore AI Data Center in Odisha, and in August 2026, it expanded its collaboration with NetApp for hybrid cloud STaaS. This was followed by a September 2024 strategic integration with CrowdStrike for AI security services.

Despite a one-year price change of -18.16 percent, the company maintains a Piotroski Score of 7. Management continues to guide for FY27 constant currency revenue growth between 1.0 percent and 4.0 percent, with EBIT operating margins expected to land between 17.5 percent and 18.5 percent.

Leveraging Scale for Enterprise Trusted AI

Few technology companies combine the scale of a global systems integrator with the product depth of an ISV. That gives us a rare advantage to securely engineer and deploy Agentic AI at scale and deliver the business outcomes that matter most to our clients.
