The news: Telstra has announced a multi-year partnership with Indian IT group and Infosys, to accelerate the telco's "AI-led engineering transformation".
The context: The strategic partnership is aimed at supporting Telstra's company-wide strategy and accelerating its software engineering and IT transformation.

As we approach the tipping point of generative AI and an avalanche of digital adoption, strategic partnerships with global leaders such as Infosys are critical to support our shared ambitions for digital leadership".
