Hexaware and Replit Partner on AI Enterprise Tools
IT services firm Hexaware Technologies announced a partnership with the AI development platform Replit. The collaboration will integrate Replit's platform into Hexaware's offerings to help enterprise clients accelerate the process of prototyping and productionizing AI applications.
- Replit, the AI development platform in the partnership, is a Series E company that reached a $3 billion valuation after a $250 million funding round in September 2025. - The collaboration centers on a concept called "vibe coding," which uses natural language prompts to enable users, including those in non-technical departments like sales or operations, to build applications. - Replit's platform is designed with enterprise security in mind, offering features such as SOC2 compliance, Single Sign-On (SSO), and role-based access controls, which Hexaware will augment with its own governance protocols. - The partnership aims to address common enterprise challenges in AI adoption, such as integration with legacy systems, long development queues for internal tools, and the high cost of prototyping. - This initiative is part of a broader industry trend of integrating AI into the software development lifecycle (SDLC) to automate repetitive tasks and accelerate the time-to-market for new applications. - Hexaware, a global IT services firm founded in 1990, brings experience in AI and automation to the partnership through its proprietary platforms like Tensai® and Amaze®. - The joint offering utilizes "agentic AI," where autonomous agents handle complex backend tasks, allowing developers and business users to focus on high-level business logic and outcomes.
