Generative AI deals expected in 2 quarters; will not be mega wins: TCS CEO

The country's largest IT services company TCS is expecting some generative artificial intelligence- (AI) based deals in the next two quarters, but their sizes will not be big, its top official said on Thursday. Those deals will not be over USD 1 billion, TCS Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director K Krithivasan told PTI during an interview here. Each organisation will spin out a number of deals, but there may not be a single billion dollar kind of deal in generative AI, Krithivasan said, adding that at present, every organisation is tinkering to assess the possibilities of the new technology. TCS, which on Wednesday announced its intent to train 1 lakh associates on generative AI and working on 50 proofs of concept, is also gearing up for the changes in the landscape, Krithivasan said. The major impact (for) organisations will happen only when they embark on an enterprise-wide programme. As long as they keep doing some use cases here, some use cases there, some pilots here, e

IT cos to log muted Q1 as macro woes persist; recovery to be slow: Analysts

Indian IT services companies are expected to log a muted show in June quarter with wage hikes keeping margins under pressure amid weak macro overhang, cuts in discretionary spends, and project delays, say analysts. Some brokerages, in fact, have cautioned that pain will continue for the tech pack up ahead, as recovery is likely to be more gradual, only around Q4 FY24 or in FY25. As tech companies head into Q1 earnings season this week, experts will also be keeping a close watch on any management commentary on the revision of the growth outlook for FY24, the spread of demand deterioration beyond BFSI (banking, financial services and insurance), hi-tech, telecom and retail verticals, net hiring, project ramp downs and pricing pressures, as key monitorables. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and HCL Tech are scheduled to declare their results on July 12, followed by Wipro's report card a day later (July 13). Infosys will announce its Q1 numbers on July 20, while LTIMindtree is slated to
