Indian IT stocks saw a sharp decline, with the Nifty IT index falling by over 6%, wiping out more than ₹2 lakh crore in investor wealth. Major companies such as Infosys, TCS, HCL, and Wipro were all significantly affected.
Global technology stocks also declined sharply. U.S. software companies experienced heavy losses, with a Goldman Sachs technology index dropping around 6%, resulting in approximately $300 billion in market value being erased.
New AI tools are rapidly expanding their capabilities. Solutions such as Claude CoWork and Claude Code can write, test, and fix production-grade code, draft legal documents, analyze large datasets, perform compliance checks, and generate detailed reports with minimal human involvement.
These developments threaten traditional IT business models. Tasks that were once handled by Indian IT service providers are increasingly being automated, leading to job cuts and revenue warnings from major firms.
India’s IT sector now faces a major structural challenge. Valued at over $280 billion and built on a low-cost, high-volume delivery model, the industry must evolve and adapt to the AI era in order to remain competitive and sustainable.
