How serious is AI risk to Indian IT services companies? Vishal Sikka explains
Artificial intelligence (AI) could begin to affect Indian IT services companies by changing how certain types of enterprise work are delivered, especially tasks that are repetitive and prescriptive in nature, according to Vishal Sikka, Founder and CEO of Vianai and former CEO of Infosys.“If you look at the application of generative AI to knowledge work, this disruption is real. It is here,” Sikka said, referring to the growing use of AI tools in areas such as code migration,
integration work and system connectivity.
These are tasks that typically form part of enterprise technology projects, including writing programmes to move data across systems or connecting different applications within an organisation. According to Sikka, teams using generative AI tools effectively have already reported significant gains in output. “I have seen examples of 20, 30x productivity gain.”
Someone who refrained from calling out the AI bubble for 3 years is changing their mind
Investors have been overwhelmed by the threat of artificial intelligence (AI) disrupting existing business models across industries, leading to a 2% fall in the S&P 500 over the last month. Interestingly, the sell-off has been steeper, at 4.79%, in the tech-heavy Nasdaq during the same period. The share of Nvidia and the
four major hyperscalers in AI—Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Meta—in the total market capitalisation of the S&P500, $60 trillion, has fallen from a record high of 27.4% in November 2025 to 24.7% at the end of January 2026, according to Jefferies.

China bans below-cost car sales, here’s what it means for Tata Motors’ stock and its luxury cars

A rare bet: Top stocks where promoters, DIIs and FPIs buy together
Institutional ownership typically reflects a shifting balance. When domestic institutions buy, foreign investors often sell, and when both turn net buyers, promoters are usually seen trimming their stakes. It is rare for all three—promoters, foreign institutional investors (FIIs), and domestic institutional investors (DIIs)—to be buyers at the same time.
Against this backdrop, here are the top companies where the trinity of promoters, FIIs and DIIs all increased their stake during the quarter.
India built the solar plants faster than the grid could handle
India’s clean energy transition now hinges less on announcing new targets and more on how institutions manage operational abundance. Curtailment at this scale is not merely lost green power;it is lost credibility. The choice before policymakers is not between grid security and renewable growth. It is between unmanaged adjustment and deliberate governance. Rajasthan has made that choice unavoidable.
How insurance is shifting from protection to prevention in 2026
While pricing remains relevant, it is no longer the sole factor influencing insurance decisions.

Retirement planning: How to turn your corpus into monthly cash flow
Retirement planning is no longer just about saving money — it is about building a steady and predictable income for life after work. With rising inflation and longer life expectancy, creating a strong retirement corpus has become essential.
From mutual fund systematic withdrawal plans (SWPs) and dividend options to NPS, EPF, fixed deposits and bonds, investors today have multiple choices. The key question is: how should you combine them?
