India’s technology journey has reached a defining inflection — one where legacy models meet the disruptive force of Artificial Intelligence. From TCS and Infosys to Wipro and HCL Tech, India’s IT bellwethers that once powered a global outsourcing revolution are now at a crossroads, confronting slower growth, margin pressures, and the existential need to reinvent. As AI transforms workflows, redefines talent, and redraws the contours of value creation, these giants are pivoting from cost-efficiency to capability with investments of billions in data infrastructure, AI platforms, and innovation hubs. The sector that once thrived on labour arbitrage is now racing to build intelligence advantage.This transformation marks not just a cyclical shift but a structural reset, one that could determine whether India’s IT leadership endures or erodes in the era of ‘intelligence outsourcing’.All this and more in the cover story ‘Reinventing Indian IT’ from Business Today’s latest issue – On Stands Now.
