Hexaware Technologies shares rallied more than 12% during the morning market hours on Friday, October 9, as equity market investors focused on the company’s latest multi-year deal with the US-based artificial intelligence (AI) major, Anthropic.

NSE data showed that Hexaware Tech shares surged 12.3% to hit an intraday high of ₹574.50 apiece on Friday’s market, in comparison to ₹511.40 apiece at the previous equity market close.

Trading activity surged to more than 1.48 crore equity shares on the National Stock Exchange, marking an overall 69.20 times growth in volumes compared to the one-week average activity of 2,14,310 equity shares.

The high-volume momentum triggered the intraday gains in Hexaware Tech’s stock, with trading activity hitting its Friday highs, in comparison to a volume of 1,72,527 equity shares, which is the past two-week average on the stock exchange.

“Hexaware Technologies, a global provider of IT services and solutions, today announced a multi-year partnership with Anthropic. Under the partnership, Hexaware becomes a Preferred Partner in Anthropic’s Claude Partner Network,” as per the official statement.

Hexaware-Anthropic deal

The multi-year partnership between Hexaware Technologies and Anthropic will bring Anthropic’s Claude to the core of two Hexaware platforms: Zerovity, its AI-native engineering platform, and AgentVerse, to build and governance platform with more than 600 pre-built agents.

“Hexaware will use Claude to deliver outcome-based services across IT operations and software engineering, as enterprise clients increasingly buy results rather than effort,” the company informed the stock exchanges.

With more than 1,100 Claude-certified professionals at Hexaware’s helm, both companies aim to work together on go-to-market, joint solution development, and customer deployments, and the Indian company will expand Claude training across its delivery teams.

“We are putting Claude at the heart of Zerovity™ and AgentVerse™, so our clients reach production results faster, at a cost they can plan around,” said Siddharth Dhar, President & Global Head – AI at Hexaware.

New CEO update

Last month, Hexaware appointed Vivek Jetley as CEO Designate, who is set to take charge of his role effective from October 28, 2026, as the company now looks forward to its next phase of accelerated growth with AI reshaping enterprise technology services globally and creating new sources of client demand.

Investors are also focused on the leadership change as Jetley has a track record of scaling global businesses, leading large P&Ls and creating new growth engines during periods of technology disruption from data and cloud to GenAI.
