Infosys shares rise 3% as firm partners with Harness to drive AI-led enterprise solutions

“This collaboration aligns the combined capabilities of Infosys Topaz Fabric and Infosys Cobalt with the Harness Software Delivery Platform to drive improvements in productivity, software engineering, AI governance, and time-to-market at scale,” Infosys said in a statement.

Following this, Infosys shares surged 2.7% to touch intraday high of ₹1,376.90 apiece on Wednesday. At 9:57 AM, the stock was seen at ₹1,343.60 per share on NSE, rising 0.31%.

Infosys Topaz Fabric is a purpose-built agentic services suite—a multi-layer AI fabric that unifies infrastructure, models, data, applications, and workflows into a composable, agent-ready ecosystem.

Infosys and Harness aim to address challenges faced by engineering teams spending a significant amount of their time on downstream activities like testing, deployment and others. Together, both the companies will standardise and automate the end-to-end path from code to production by applying AI to everything after code across the software delivery lifecycle.

Infosys and Harness will offer integrated solutions designed to support large-scale modernisation and transformation programmes, with a focus on complex, high-scale, and regulated environments.

“As AI accelerates change, enterprises need delivery systems that are faster, more reliable, and governed by design. Together, we are enabling a more disciplined path from innovation to production, embedding security, compliance, and resilience into how software is delivered across complex environments. This is an important step in helping enterprises adopt AI responsibly, accelerate outcomes, and sustain long-term advantage,” said Salil Parekh, Chief Executive Officer, Infosys.

Infosys said that Harness’ delivery intelligence, built on real-world signals, enables enterprises to apply AI in a safer, more governed, and auditable manner and, when integrated with its Cobalt cloud offerings, is designed to support consistent deployment across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Jyoti Bansal said that as AI accelerates code generation, enterprises face the challenge of ensuring innovation reaches production safely and efficiently, creating what he described as the “AI Velocity Paradox", where faster development outpaces downstream processes such as testing, security, compliance, and deployment, leading to increased risk and complexity.

Bansal added that by combining Harness’s intelligent delivery platform with Infosys’ deep enterprise expertise, the collaboration aims to help organisations deliver AI-driven software innovation with greater speed, predictability, and control.
