Wipro and Tech Mahindra Unite with Aduna

In a significant strategic move announced on June 20, 2025, Aduna, a leading global aggregator of network APIs, has welcomed Wipro and Tech Mahindra into its partner ecosystem. This collaboration aims to accelerate the adoption of network APIs on a global scale, emphasizing the pivotal contributions of Global System Integrators (GSIs) in enhancing business engagement with mobile operators in the burgeoning network economy.

Wipro and Tech Mahindra, recognized as trusted advisors and integrators for Fortune 500 companies, will incorporate Aduna’s harmonized network APIs—such as SIM Swap, Number Verification, Device Location, and Quality on Demand—into various business transformation initiatives across diverse sectors including financial services, manufacturing, logistics, and public services.

Anthony Bartolo, CEO of Aduna, expressed enthusiasm over this partnership, acknowledging the unique position of Tech Mahindra and Wipro at the crossroads of business transformation and telecommunications innovation. Together, they aim to facilitate secure, scalable, and global connections in the ecosystem of supply and demand.

GSIs as a Bridge between Telecommunications and Enterprises

Global System Integrators hold a strategic advantage in linking telecommunications capabilities with enterprise systems. By embedding network APIs into digital workflows, these GSIs enable businesses to enhance security, streamline onboarding, bolster communications, and meet regulatory compliance—without navigating the complexities associated with telecoms. They play a crucial role in helping mobile operators integrate with the Aduna platform through business consulting, service frameworks, and technical support for onboarding.

In this partnership, Tech Mahindra and Wipro commit to:

• - Supporting the onboarding of communication service providers (CSPs) and expediting operational availability across various regions.
• - Advising, designing, and jointly developing use-case accelerators with their corporate clients in vital sectors like banking, logistics, and utilities.
• - Facilitating global implementation of network APIs through managed services and integration frameworks.
• - Helping enterprises to adopt network APIs by integrating them into cloud-native environments, security solutions, and digital identity platforms.
