AI Adoption Pressures Traditional IT Services Model in India
What happened
NASSCOM estimates the Indian technology industry employs nearly 6 million people, but this sector is beginning to grow without adding staff at the previous pace. The industry body noted that AI is causing a shift away from the traditional IT services model. Clients are increasingly demanding outcomes rather than paying for specific hours or a set number of engineers.

Why it matters
This development signals a major challenge to the decades-old IT services formula that relied on large engineering pools performing work at lower costs. The move toward outcome-based contracts is forcing major IT companies to rethink their service delivery and hiring strategies.
