AI Disrupts India’s IT Industry as Automation Advances
A Bloomberg report highlights how generative AI is reshaping the Indian IT industry, the world’s largest outsourcing hub. Companies like TCS and Infosys are adopting AI to boost productivity, prompting concerns over reduced demand for junior roles and slower hiring. Entry-level programmers and service personnel are especially vulnerable, and universities are urged to revamp curricula to align with the evolving job landscape. Some firms report up to 30% productivity boosts, encouraging faster AI integration despite job displacement risks.
AI’s integration into traditional IT services marks a pivotal shift, compelling talent and education systems to adapt swiftly.
