AI's Impact on Indian IT, Jobs, and Data Centers
Artificial intelligence and automation are changing many industries in India.
Big IT companies like TCS and Infosys are feeling the pressure because automation is taking over some of their work.
This has reduced their share in the stock market.
Meanwhile, global phone companies like Apple, Samsung, and Google pushed back against a government rule to install a new app on their phones, citing privacy concerns.
The government later rolled back the rule.
At the same time, top tech schools like the IITs are offering very high-paying jobs with extra benefits like company shares.
Big tech companies like Microsoft and Google are investing billions in new data centers in India.
Venture capitalists are now more interested in funding startups with founders who have deep knowledge and PhDs.
Even the music industry is using automation to make old songs more appealing.
Meesho, a popular shopping app, has improved its delivery system to better serve rural areas.
IT services' share in BSE Sensex has dropped to 11%, the lowest in 18 years due to automation.
Global phone makers Apple, Samsung, and Google pushed back against a government mandate to pre-install the Sanchar Saathi app, citing privacy concerns.
IIT job offers include high salaries with additional equity, bonuses, and clawback provisions to retain talent.
