‘India’s IT services industry will be gone’: Vinod Khosla flags major AI disruption
Veteran venture capitalist Vinod Khosla has issued a bold warning about the future of India’s massive IT services industry, saying the traditional model that built the sector could soon collapse under the pressure of artificial intelligence.
Speaking on the latest episode of Podcast Alpha, Khosla did not hold back. “India’s IT services industry will be gone,” he said, “That’s not a hedged observation.”
The comment comes at a striking moment for the sector. India’s IT and business process management industry is on track to cross $300 billion in revenue in FY26 for the first time, according to NASSCOM. Exports alone are estimated at around $200–233 billion.
