  • Tech Mahindra Partners with Rezolve Ai to Scale Agentic Retail Commerce

    Tech Mahindra Partners with Rezolve Ai to Scale Agentic Retail Commerce

    Indian IT services major Tech Mahindra partnered with London-based Rezolve Ai to deploy automated agentic shopping technology across its network of more than 1,100 enterprise clients.

    The agreement gives Rezolve access to 146,000 systems professionals across 90 countries to take retail artificial intelligence beyond conversational chatbots and into live transaction processing.

    Integrating AI Checkout into Enterprise Systems

    Under the alliance, Rezolve Ai will supply its Brain Suite software, which includes Brain Commerce for conversational product discovery and Brain Checkout for autonomous transactions. The system runs on proprietary brainpowa models designed to eliminate hallucinations during commercial transactions, alongside TraceWare audit software that tracks automated agent decisions.

    Tech Mahindra will manage consulting, cloud infrastructure and systems engineering for retail, consumer goods and financial services clients. The combined setup allows AI agents to interpret consumer intent, recommend inventory and execute payments inside existing digital storefronts.

    Daniel M. Wagner, chairman and chief executive of Rezolve Ai, noted that Tech Mahindra’s existing enterprise relationships provide the distribution engine needed to deploy transactional AI at commercial scale.

    Enterprise Push for Transactional AI

    Systems integrators across Asia are racing to shift enterprise clients from experimental chatbots to revenue-generating commerce tools. While basic generative AI handled customer support across Asian retail platforms over the past two years, enterprise rollouts previously stalled at checkout where transaction security and inventory data errors create financial liability.

    Rezolve Ai plans to present its enterprise commerce deployment data during an investor presentation scheduled for October 6, 2026.
