AI focus, weak spending to weigh on IT firms in June quarter: Equirus

India's IT services sector is likely to post a "soft" June quarter as enterprises stay cautious about discretionary technology spending amid global macroeconomic uncertainty, geopolitical developments and a focus on AI-led efficiency, according to Equirus Securities. Equirus expects the top six Indian IT services companies to report constant-currency organic US-dollar revenue performance ranging from a 1.7 per cent decline to 1.1 per cent growth quarter-on-quarter. Wipro IT Services is expected to be at the lower end of the range, while Tech Mahindra is likely to lead the large-cap pack. Among mid-sized companies, Persistent Systems, Mphasis and eClerx are expected to post relatively stronger organic growth, it said.

Time has come to look at separate AI legislation, says IT Secy S Krishnan

India appears set to move towards a dedicated regulatory framework for artificial intelligence, with IT Secretary S Krishnan on Friday saying the time has come to look at a separate AI regulation. Krishnan noted that while existing legal provisions have so far been adequate in addressing initial concerns on issues like deepfakes and AI-generated synthetic content, an "additional regulation or law may be needed". "It is a conversation which has commenced, and my Minister (IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw) and I have both been on record earlier that we will look at AI regulation when the time is right, and it appears that the time is getting right, and we will start looking at it," Krishnan said. He added: "We have used the IT rules, and other provisions of existing law to address various concerns that AI raises, but now, probably the time has come to look at a separate legislation."
