As artificial intelligence reshapes the technology industry, HCL Technologies (HCLTech) CEO and Managing Director C Vijayakumar has said the sector has reached another "inflection point" with AI, and that the future belongs not necessarily to the largest, but those willing to keep reinventing themselves.

India's technology sector must transition from scale-driven growth to an AI-focused, intelligence-led, and Intellectual Property (IP)-driven model, said Roshni Nadar Malhotra, the chairperson of HCL Technologies, on Thursday. "India must move from being a tech services-led nation to an IP-led nation; services scale with effort. IP scales infinitely," she said while speaking at the AI Impact Summit 2026.
