AI changes how India’s IT employees work, not yet the jobs
Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping how employees work inside India’s IT services companies, forcing engineers to adopt new tools, retrain in AI skills and adjust to rising productivity expectations, even as company leaders say the shift is creating more transformation than immediate job losses.
“AI has clearly changed how we work. Earlier, we would spend days writing and testing basic code. Now, tools can generate a first version in hours. It saves time, but it also means clients expect faster delivery and sometimes lower costs,” said Ram Prasad, a mid-level software engineer at a Bengaluru-based IT firm.
