Infosys CEO Salil Parekh Expects AI to Reshape India's IT Talent Pyramid
Infosys CEO Salil Parekh anticipates AI will transform India's four-decade-old IT talent pyramid model, creating new opportunities while requiring more specialized skills. The IT major sees a $300 billion addressable market for AI services and is adapting its hiring and training to integrate AI tools, having recruited 20,000 college graduates last year with similar plans for this year. Parekh emphasized that while large-scale structural changes will take time, the company is focusing on client outcomes rather than intermediate measures like token usage.
