India's Information Technology (IT) industry is undergoing a massive transformation with the increasing adoption of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI). According to a recent survey by Ernst & Young (EY) India, GenAI is expected to boost productivity in the IT sector by 43%-45% over the next five years, significantly impacting software development, business process outsourcing (BPO), and IT consulting.

GenAI’s Growing Role in India's IT Industry

India's IT industry, valued at Rs. 22,21,230 crore (US$ 254 billion), is witnessing a rapid shift from AI experimentation to full-scale production. Leading IT giants like Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Infosys have reported an increase in AI-driven projects, with:

• 89% of clients trialing GenAI in various business applications.
• 33% of clients already integrating GenAI into large-scale production.

According to Mr. Abhinav Johri, Technology Consulting Partner at EY India, enterprises are moving beyond initial proofs of concept and embracing AI as a core operational tool, marking a new era of digital transformation.

AI-Powered Efficiency Gains Across IT Segments

Among various IT roles, the adoption of Generative AI is expected to drive productivity improvements as follows:

• Software development: Up to 60% efficiency boost through AI-assisted coding, debugging, and automation.
• Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services: Productivity increase of 52%, reducing manual workload and enhancing automation.
• IT consulting: Expected growth of 47%, as AI optimizes data analysis, project management, and decision-making.

Together, these three segments are projected to contribute 50%-60% of the overall productivity improvement in India's IT industry.

How AI is Reshaping India's IT Landscape

The increasing adoption of AI is driving fundamental shifts in how IT firms operate. Some of the key benefits include:

• Cost Reduction: AI-driven automation reduces the need for repetitive human intervention, leading to lower operational expenses.
• Enhanced Customer Service: AI-powered chatbots, virtual assistants, and automated support systems improve customer engagement.
• Revenue Growth: Increased efficiency allows IT firms to take on more projects and expand AI-based service offerings.

The combination of internal AI adoption and client-driven AI implementations is making Generative AI a transformative force in India's IT sector.

The Future of AI Adoption in India's IT Sector

With a strong focus on AI integration, India's IT industry is poised for exponential growth. As more enterprises shift from AI trials to full-scale deployments, the sector will witness:

• Accelerated innovation in AI-driven applications.
• Job evolution with a focus on AI and automation expertise.
• Increased global competitiveness in AI-powered IT services.

This rapid expansion of GenAI will reshape India's technology landscape, reinforcing its position as a global IT powerhouse.
