Applied AIThe AI era is creating a new CTO

Applied AIHow India's IT services sector, which employs 6M people, contributes ~7% of GDP, and generates $300B+ annually, is shedding jobs as AI automates formulaic work
A $300B, 6M-person IT services machine built on formulaic work is now directly exposed to AI arbitrage. If you rely on offshore partners for repeatable tasks, expect pricing pressure, staffing churn, and a push toward outcome-based contracts instead of hourly bodies.
Applied AIHow SMBs turn AI into lasting business value
