ICRA, a credit rating agency, has predicted a potential decrease in growth for the Indian IT services industry in the near to mid-term.
The agency cited a slowdown in demand from key markets, increased automation and competition from low-cost service providers as factors contributing to this potential decrease.
ICRA also mentioned the impact of COVID-19 on the industry, such as remote work leading to reduced IT spending by companies.
Despite this, the agency stated that the long-term growth prospects for the Indian IT services industry remain positive, due to its strong skillset and expertise in areas such as digital transformation and cloud computing.
