Indian IT captains hold firm amid raging agentic AI storm

Heads of India’s top IT companies on Friday said software services industry will remain relevant in the artificial intelligence era though their roles might change, allaying fears of AI rendering the industry redundant.

K Krithivasan, chief executive officer and managing director of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), said while it’s not clear exactly what the roles will be a few years down the line due to disruption owing to AI, he does not envisage a “significant shrinkage” to TCS and the industry at large.
