IBM, Tech Mahindra team up for $2 billion opportunity

IBM and Tech Mahindra have partnered to generate $1 billion business each over the next three years by jointly offering solutions in 5G, cyber security and cloud services to customers globally, IBM Chairman Arvind Krishna and Tech Mahindra CEO C P Gurnani said on Tuesday.

Krishna, who is betting big on IBM’s hybrid cloud business after he announced carving of the services and infrastructure business separately, will personally drive the partnership that entails IBM collaborating with Tech Mahindra to set up centres of excellence in the latter’s campuses, first in Bengaluru and expand into other cities, and build use cases that they can take to customers globally.
