AI at Sopra Steria

Turning Responsible AI into Measurable Business Impact
Sopra Steria is a leading European Technology partner helping organizations across India and the globe move from AI experimentation to scaled, sustainable value. Combining strategic consulting expertise, deep industry knowledge and AI driven engineering capabilities, we support clients end-to-end—from strategy and use-case design to secure, production-grade platforms and AI-native ways of working.

Our Vision

We believe AI is a transformative lever for competitiveness, innovation and sustainability but only when it is trustworthy, human-centered and embedded into real business processes.

From pilots to impact at scale research shows the generative AI market is growing rapidly, yet only a minority of enterprises have successfully scaled even one GenAI use case. Our mission is to close this "value gap" by industrializing AI, not just experimenting with it. With 7,000+ active users on our AI-native development platforms and proven 25-30% operational workload reductions, we help organizations achieve measurable outcomes.

AI that augments, not replaces; we focus on explainable, governed AI that augments people and processes, with ethics, security and compliance baked into every layer of the solution. Our commitment to Responsible AI, Green AI and Safe AI ensures sustainable value creation.

Global Expertise with local excellence with strong capabilities across India and presence in nearly 30 countries, we combine deep local domain knowledge with global delivery excellence and best practices.
