Cognizant’s initiative, announced on August 29, 2025, focuses on deploying 1,000 context engineers to industrialize agentic AI, enabling systems to reason, act, and adapt to enterprise needs. Partnering with Workfabric AI, Cognizant leverages the ContextFabric platform to transform organizational workflows, data, and processes into actionable AI context. “Every technology shift creates a services shift,” said Ravi Kumar S, CEO, Cognizant. “In the LLM era, the lever is context. Cognizant’s deep expertise in engineering, operations, and industry domains positions us to create unique value.”
Workfabric AI’s ContextFabric platform serves as a continuous runtime grounding layer, ensuring AI agents align with real-world execution patterns. It captures enterprise knowledge, including operating models, roles, and governance systems, to fuel precise and effective AI operations. “Cognizant’s commitment to this discipline, starting with 1,000 context engineers, is a bold signal of where the services industry is headed,” said Rohan N. Murty, CEO of Workfabric AI. The platform has demonstrated up to 3x higher accuracy, 70% fewer hallucinations, and faster deployment cycles in enterprise settings.
Context engineering, a new discipline, combines domain, functional, and technical expertise to deliver relevant context to AI agents. Integrated with Cognizant’s Agentic Development Lifecycle (ADLC), it ensures AI systems operate securely and at scale. Context engineers will capture enterprise knowledge, manage governance, build integration pipelines, and create reusable “context packs” for industry-specific use cases, driving efficiency and compliance.
Cognizant’s initiative enables businesses to move beyond AI pilots to enterprise-scale impact, offering benefits like risk reduction, cost optimization, and accelerated time-to-value. By embedding organizational context, the ContextFabric platform supports trusted AI adoption, streamlines architectures, and enhances ROI, positioning Cognizant and Workfabric AI as leaders in contextual computing.
This partnership marks a significant step toward transforming enterprises with AI that aligns with strategic goals, fostering innovation and operational excellence across industries.
