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. According to HSBC Global Research, near-term discretionary spending among clients remains weak, but there are signs of acceleration in the next fiscal year, especially as adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) among enterprises gathers pace. While the near-term demand environment remains soft and unchanged, FY27 is likely to see pick-up in demand driven by recovery in the US macro and increase in demand from IT companies looking to drive enterprise scale AI adoption, HSBC Global Research said. Key indicators show that the Indian IT sector has faced challenges related to global macroeconomic uncertainty, client cost optimisation, and delayed decision-making. Major Indian IT firms such as TCS, Infosys, and HCLTech reported healthy large deal .

40% of Indian clinicians use AI, adoption triples since last year: Report

More than 40 per cent of clinicians in India could be using artificial intelligence technologies for work purposes -- a three-fold increase from 12 per cent since last year, estimates a report. Published by Elsevier, a Netherlands-based scientific and technical information disseminator which manages journals including 'The Lancet', the report also suggests that India's adoption of AI surpasses global average of 48 per cent, and is ahead of that in the US (36 per cent) and UK (34 per cent). "India's clinicians are showing remarkable agility and enthusiasm in embracing AI, setting a pace that not only keeps up with but often rivals global leaders," Shanker Kaul, chairman of Elsevier Health in India, said. Authors of the 'Clinician of the Future 2025' report wrote, "41 per cent of clinicians in India have used AI for work purposes, more than triple (of) last year's figure of 12 per cent." The country's rate of AI adoption may, however, lags behind that of China (71 per cent) and the A

AI agents, new ally for CFOs to bolster finance automation: Xalts COO

As Indian companies evolve into global entities with increasingly complex finance operations, AI-powered intelligent solutions are driving measurable outcomes, turbo-charging speed, insights and efficiency that CFOs urgently need, says Supreet Kaur, chief operating officer at Singapore-based fintech platform Xalts. The platform has assisted clients in shortening trade finance cycles by as much as 10 days, and providing headcount efficiency of 30-40 per cent, all without replacing core systems, she told PTI. In her view, the next phase of finance transformation won't be driven by generic automation but by vertical AI agent platforms that solve real operational challenges. It will free CFOs to focus on decision-making, not data wrangling, she said. Given the multi-jurisdictional mandate of corporate finance teams in today's globalised world, handling of intricate banking relationships, payments, liquidity, compliances, and many other complex finance and treasury tasks can no longer re
