Indian IT companies like TCS, Infosys, HCLTech, and Wipro are emphasizing the importance of AI in client conversations and major deals, without disclosing specific revenue sources from GenAI.
The term 'AI washing' is coined for overstated claims around AI adoption without tangible outcomes, evident from the Q4 earnings of these companies.
In contrast, global IT giant Accenture revealed significant generative AI bookings, reflecting the difference in transparency compared to Indian IT firms.
TCS reported record deal wins with AI playing a crucial role, although direct revenue from GenAI was not disclosed.
Infosys and Wipro also showcased enthusiasm for generative AI projects but refrained from sharing AI-related revenue figures.
Unlike its peers, Wipro witnessed a rise in net income but anticipates a decline in revenue for Q1 FY26.
HCLTech highlighted exclusive AI deals and a focus on AI Labs, emphasizing long-term returns on AI investments.
Tech Mahindra experienced flat revenue growth but a significant profit increase, emphasizing the integration of AI across service lines.
LTIMindtree reported better revenue performance compared to larger peers, with AI integration across service offerings.
Indian IT industry is urged to rethink its business model by industry leaders, with AI being pivotal in staying relevant and accelerating software development.
