NIFTY50 top gainers and losers

The NIFTY50 index was supported by buying in Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), which closed 4.16% higher, amid a surge in the NIFTY IT index. The NIFTY IT index advanced, as it was driven by a buoyant outlook for US-based software and consulting firms after their latest quarterly earnings.

As part of this partnership, Wipro has launched the LIFT (Launch-Ignite-Flywheel-Transform) framework to help enterprises accelerate AI transformation and operationalise agentic AI at scale.

Powered by Wipro Intelligence, the unified suite of AI platforms, solutions, and transformative offerings, the LIFT framework integrates Gemini Enterprise with Wipro’s AI-powered delivery platforms, WINGS and WEGA. Wipro explained that this unified ecosystem enables organisations to seamlessly transition from basic task automation to embedding secure, autonomous AI agents directly into their core, multi-step business workflows.
