AI Reshapes India’s IT Contracts as Clients Demand More

AI is changing how Indian technology companies sell their services.

In the past, clients often paid for the number of hours employees worked.

Now, more contracts connect payment to results, such as savings or faster work.

Clients also want the same work for 25% to 30% less money.

Some companies are using AI to do tasks themselves instead of hiring outside providers.

This has made it easier for smaller IT firms to compete with large companies.

Large providers are trying to win new AI-related work to replace lost revenue.

Some firms have rejected contracts they considered unprofitable.

The changes could reduce the need for large numbers of entry-level coding workers.
