IT sector sees muted FY26 growth; recovery likely with AI adoption: Report

The Indian IT sector is experiencing subdued growth, with industry guidance and recent results pointing towards a muted outlook for FY26, though a recovery in FY27 is possible with recovery in key export markets and adoption of new technology.
