Mphasis has partnered with Indian School of Business (ISB) to establish an ‘Mphasis AI Hub’, a cross-functional collaboration aimed at accelerating AI-led research, innovation, and capacity building for societal and sectoral impact in India. The initiative is supported by the Mphasis F1 Foundation, which will invest around Rs 20 crore over four years in Phase 1 to advance research and applied AI solutions.
The initiative will focus initially on Healthcare and Finance, with plans to expand into other priority sectors. At the core of the partnership is the establishment of a dedicated AI research hub at ISB, designed to serve as a platform for interdisciplinary research and multi-stakeholder collaboration. Through this initiative, ISB aims to advance responsible AI innovation in the financial and healthcare sectors by driving research that addresses real-world challenges; enabling the responsible adoption, evaluation, and impact assessment of AI solutions in live environments; strengthening digital literacy and institutional capacity among relevant stakeholders; and fostering wider knowledge-sharing through repositories, partnerships, and annual convenings.
The Mphasis AI Hub will also focus on building frameworks to assess tangible business value and long-term sustainability of AI deployments, generate policy insights, create AI learning resources, support faculty-led pedagogical innovations, and sustain collaboration across academia, industry, and government.
Mphasis is a global service provider, delivering technology-based solutions across many sectors.
