Coforge trains 10,000 developers on GitHub Copilot, aims to enhance productivity

Coforge Limited has significantly expanded its collaboration with Microsoft, training over 10,000 developers on GitHub Copilot to improve software development efficiency. The global digital services provider has achieved the Accelerate Developer Productivity with Microsoft Azure specialisation, focusing on AI-integrated developer solutions.

The shares of Coforge Limited were trading at ₹8,043.20 up by ₹16 or 0.20 per cent on the NSE today at 1.05 pm.

The company’s strategic move addresses critical challenges in working with complex legacy systems, with an ambitious goal of generating up to 30 per cent productivity gains in code development. Vic Gupta, Executive Vice President and Head of Microsoft Business at Coforge, emphasised the company’s commitment to adopting AI-enabled tools that optimise developer workflows and accelerate application development.

GitHub’s Matt Finkelstein acknowledged Coforge’s achievement, noting that the specialisation allows the company to support customers in enabling business outcomes through increased developer productivity. The certification is particularly selective, requiring partners to meet stringent requirements including an active solutions partner designation for Digital & App Innovation.

Coforge has already begun implementing these AI-driven strategies, using GitHub Copilot to forward engineer legacy applications and develop modern technology codes across various industries. The initiative represents a significant step in the company’s AI-first approach to digital services.
