Hexaware Shares Rise 6% on Open AI Agents Collaboration
Hexaware is supporting a programme that teaches developers how to build systems for AI agents.
AI agents are computer programs that can perform tasks and work with other agents.
The programme will help agents find, identify and safely coordinate with one another.
It is hosted by FAN, the umbrella programme behind Project NANDA.
Project NANDA began at the MIT Media Lab and is developing open infrastructure and standards.
More than 10 fellows will join the first group.
They will include Hexaware engineers and developers chosen from around the world.
Fellows will work remotely, receive stipends and get mentorship.
Hexaware says the project will help train AI infrastructure engineers and support open-source development.
Hexaware shares gained 6% after announcing support for an AI fellowship programme.
The fully remote programme is hosted by FAN, which oversees Project NANDA, with Hexaware providing support.
The fellowship will address AI-agent discovery, verifiable identity and secure coordination.
More than 10 fellows, including Hexaware engineers and external developers, will form the inaugural cohort.
Fellows will receive stipends and mentorship while contributing to live, open-source agentic infrastructure.
