Key points
- Cognizant CEO Ravi Kumar S announced plans to hire 1,500 US college graduates in 2026 across tech services, the Belcan engineering unit, and a graduate track for client AI projects, partnering with University of Georgia, Arizona State, and University of Kentucky. The company also targets 15,000 headcount across two new titles: Frontier Certified Engineer (5,000, builds the agents) and Frontier Business Operator (10,000, runs them in-house).
- Customer case: freight company Odyssey Logistics reports a 37% net cost reduction rebuilding legacy order forms, with a 7-person Cognizant team using Devin, the coding assistant from Cognition.
- The author suggests requesting Odyssey's review log — the signed record of each lead-approved change — to verify the claimed results.
