Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is very rapidly transforming India’s information technology sector, which is changing how companies make software, manage operations and deliver services. While automation mechanization is putting burden on repetitive and entry-level jobs, industry data shows that AI is also generating demand for specialized skills. India’s IT sector added about 1.35 lakh jobs in FY-2026, reaching near about the 60 lakh employees, according to government data of India, although junior support and routine technology roles are facing big problems due to automation burden.
