Infosys And Telstra Unveil Game-Changing Partnership To Transform Cloud Computing In Australia With Ai-Driven Solutions
Infosys and Telstra Forge Groundbreaking Joint Venture to Revolutionize AI-Driven Cloud Solutions in Australia
Global technology services giant Infosys has partnered with leading telecommunications and technology company Telstra to form a joint venture aimed at propelling AI-enabled cloud and digital solutions for Australian businesses. This collaboration solidifies Infosys’ position as a trusted partner in the country’s tech ecosystem.
The partnership is rooted in the acquisition by Infosys of 75% of the shareholding in Versent Group, a wholly owned subsidiary of Telstra Group. This move will grant Infosys operational control over Versent Group, while Telstra will retain a 25% minority stake in the venture. The transaction is expected to close during the second half of FY 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
Versent Group, with a team of 650 engineers, advisors, and strategists, has been delivering cloud and digital transformation solutions to Australian enterprises for several years. This joint venture will enable Infosys to leverage Versent Group’s expertise in the local market while bringing its own global capabilities and experience to the table.
“Australia is an increasingly important market for us, and we believe that this partnership will play a significant role in our growth strategy here,” said Dinesh Balsubramanian, Chief Executive Officer, Infosys Asia Pacific. “The combined strength of our teams will enable us to deliver more comprehensive and innovative solutions to Australian businesses.”
The joint venture is a testament to the growing importance of cloud and digital transformation in the Australian market. As more businesses move online, they require expert guidance on how to navigate the complexities of cloud computing, data analytics, and AI. Infosys and Versent Group’s partnership will provide this expertise, helping Australian enterprises to unlock the full potential of their technology investments.
Telstra, with its extensive network and infrastructure, will play a critical role in supporting the joint venture. The company’s expertise in telecommunications and networking will complement Infosys’ capabilities in cloud computing, AI, and digital transformation.
“Telstra is committed to helping Australian businesses thrive in a rapidly changing technological landscape,” said Andrew Penn, Chief Executive Officer, Telstra. “Our partnership with Infosys will enable us to deliver more innovative and effective solutions to our customers, while also driving growth and competitiveness for both companies.”
The joint venture comes at a time when AI-driven cloud solutions are increasingly being adopted by Australian businesses. According to recent research, the adoption of cloud computing in Australia is expected to reach 85% by 2025, driven by the need for greater agility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.
Infosys and Versent Group’s partnership will leverage the latest advancements in AI, machine learning, and cloud computing to deliver tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of Australian businesses. This will enable them to unlock new opportunities for growth, innovation, and competitiveness.
In addition to its technical capabilities, the partnership will also bring significant benefits to Telstra’s customers. By working with Infosys, Versent Group’s clients can tap into a global pool of expertise, access innovative solutions, and benefit from best practices in cloud computing, AI, and digital transformation.
“Australia is home to a thriving tech ecosystem, and we’re excited to be part of it,” said Dinesh Balsubramanian. “We believe that our partnership with Telstra will help us make a meaningful impact on the country’s technology landscape.”
As the joint venture gets underway, Infosys and Versent Group are already making plans to expand their services in Australia. The company is committed to hiring more talent from local universities and recruitment agencies to build its presence in the market.
The joint venture is also expected to drive innovation and R&D in the Australian tech sector. Infosys and Versent Group are committed to investing in research and development, exploring new technologies and applications that can benefit local businesses.
" Australia’s growing tech ecosystem presents a significant opportunity for us to make a meaningful impact," said Andrew Penn. “Our partnership with Infosys will be key to driving growth and competitiveness for both companies.”
