Content Summary
The Cognizant Copilot Enterprise deal is at Pre-SA stage, establishing a co-sell partnership for Microsoft 365 Copilot deployment across Cognizant's enterprise customer base in India. The deal targets 180,000 potential Copilot seats in the Indian market alone, with an initial focus on financial services and manufacturing verticals. The first-year addressable revenue is estimated at $64M in licence revenue, with additional Azure consumption from custom agent development.
The Pre-SA brief is being prepared with input from the Microsoft India commercial team on co-sell incentive structures. Cognizant has committed 200 consultants for Copilot-specific training and has identified 10 pilot enterprise accounts. The deal's success depends on developing a tiered co-sell incentive model that is more attractive than competing AWS and Google Cloud partner programmes.

Comments & Notes
The Pre-SA brief is on track for end-of-month submission. The key differentiator will be the tiered incentive model — Cognizant has explicitly said our co-sell economics need to beat AWS and GCP to get their full commitment.
India cloud market growth (MU-002) validates the timing. Let us make sure the Pre-SA brief references the NASSCOM $25B projection. The India market context is important for the investment case.
