AI Deals May Lift India's IT Sector After Muted Quarter
India's IT services sector could see a slow second quarter of FY27, but artificial intelligence may offer a silver lining. According to The Economic Times (ETtech), a report by Centrum says growing momentum in AI deals could support the sector's growth over the medium term, even as near-term results stay muted. This means while companies may not post strong numbers right now, demand for AI-related projects and services is rising, which could help revive growth later. The report points to AI as a key factor that IT firms and investors should watch, since it may offset weaker traditional business in the coming months.
