Hexaware Collaborates on Project NANDA Fellowship to Build the Future of AI Agents

Three-month, fully remote program invites developers worldwide to help build the open-source infrastructure powering the Internet of AI Agents

Hexaware Technologies [NSE: HEXT], a global provider of IT solutions and services, today announced its collaboration with Project NANDA Fellowship, a three-month, fully remote AI fellowship program that gives developers direct, hands-on experience building open-source infrastructure for the emerging Internet of AI Agents. The fellowship is hosted by FAN, the umbrella program behind Project NANDA, and is supported by Hexaware as part of the company’s participation in the open agentic web ecosystem.

The program is built around one of the defining technical challenges of the coming decade: how autonomous AI agents discover, verify, and coordinate with one another at scale within agentic AI workflows. Fellows contribute directly to Project NANDA, an initiative that originated at the MIT Media Lab and is building the foundational infrastructure, standards, and reference implementations for an open, decentralized Internet of AI Agents. Their work feeds into Project NANDA’s open-source community and advances components such as agent discovery, verifiable identity, and secure coordination across organizational boundaries.

The inaugural cohort brings together more than 10 Fellows, drawn from a mix of Hexaware engineers and external developers selected from a global applicant pool. Participants receive a competitive stipend, direct mentorship, and the opportunity to ship code that becomes part of live, open-source agentic infrastructure rather than a classroom exercise. By keeping the cohort small, the program preserves close mentorship and meaningful contribution for every Fellow.

For Hexaware, the association reflects a twofold objective: helping to train the next generation of AI infrastructure engineers and contributing to the open agentic web and the broader open-source community advancing it. The initiative complements Hexaware’s own investments in agentic AI, including its AI delivery layer, Zerovity™. It also extends the company’s engagement with the research and developer communities shaping how AI agents will operate in production.
