AI shift: India's IT majors embrace integration over invention, upskill workforce as global market booms
AI image Indian IT giants are reorienting their business models around artificial intelligence, shedding traditional digital transformation narratives in favour of AI-native strategies focused on high-margin applications and integration — not foundational AI research. A review of FY25 annual reports of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys , Wipro and Tech Mahindra reveals a clear pattern: India's top tech firms are positioning themselves as leading AI integrators, rather than developers of core generative AI models, according to PTI. This pivot comes amid rising global demand for enterprise AI solutions, projected to help push the worldwide AI market to an estimated $1.3 trillion within the next decade. TCS's annual report is themed 'The Perpetually Adaptive Enterprise,' built around an 'AI-First approach.' Infosys's strategy is more direct, under the theme 'AI Your Enterprise,' while Wipro underscores its enabler role with 'Helping Clients Build AI-Powered Future-Ready Businesses.' Tech Mahindra's report similarly highlights 'AI Delivered Right.' 'Let us think of AI as a gifted child prodigy born and brought up in a library,' said Anand G Mahindra, chairman of Mahindra Group. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Run Your Business Like a Pro - Top Trending Accounting Software (Check Now) Accounting ERP Click Here Undo 'It has access to all the knowledge in the world. It absorbs everything—information, fact, fiction, truth, untruth, every pattern of human behaviour. Used well, it can create extraordinary value, particularly for businesses like TechM,' he said in the company's annual update, PTI quoted. Workforce upskilling has become a key focus area. TCS reported that over 1 lakh of its employees have acquired higher-order AI/ML and GenAI skills. Infosys said over 2.7 lakh of its workforce is now 'AI-aware.' Wipro and Tech Mahindra are witnessing similar reskilling trends as they transition into AI-first firms. Infosys chairman Nandan Nilekani stressed the urgency of adapting legacy systems for AI compatibility. 'Enterprises must now create a data architecture so that all the firm's data is consumable by AI in a holistic manner,' he said. Nilekani also pushed for enterprises to build 'AI foundries and factories' to fuel innovation and scale. Rather than building their own large language models (LLMs) to rival OpenAI or Google, Indian firms are strengthening partnerships with hyperscalers like Microsoft, Google and AWS, as well as chipmakers such as Nvidia. They are establishing innovation hubs—such as TCS's AI Labs and Infosys's AI Foundry—to help clients experiment with and deploy AI in controlled environments. TCS chairman N Chandrasekaran called generative AI 'a civilisational shift' and said the company will create a 'large pool' of AI agents to work alongside humans in what he termed a 'human-AI' delivery model. Wipro, meanwhile, is realigning its Global Business Lines to sharpen its focus on AI-powered, consulting-led client solutions. 'This realignment will allow us to serve our clients better, enabling us to deliver tailored, high-impact transformation,' said Wipro CEO Srini Pallia. While foundational model development remains the domain of global tech giants, Indian IT leaders are betting that their ability to embed AI into the core of enterprise operations — from finance to manufacturing to customer engagement — will create the most durable long-term value.

Vida VX2 to launch on July 1, will come as an affordable version of V2: Key expectations
Vida VX2 electric scooter will come as an affordable version of Vida V2, with a focus on more retail numbers in the mass-market commuter segment. Notify me Hero MotoCorp has entered the Indian electric two-wheeler market with its dedicated EV-only sub-brand Vida. Under the Vida sub-brand, the company now sells the Vida V2 electric scooter, which is available in three trim options - V2 Pro, V2 Plus and V2 Lite. Now, the EV manufacturer is gearing up for the launch of its latest product, VX2, which will come as a more affordable iteration compared to the V2. Slated to launch on July 1, the Vida VX2 electric scooter will target budget-conscious consumers, offering an all-electric option for daily commuting. Interestingly, other major players in the Indian electric two-wheeler segment, including TVS Motor Company, Bajaj Auto, Ola Electric, and Ather Energy, have already launched their respective products that focus on the budget-sensitive buyers. Now, with the Vida VX2, Hero MotoCorp also plans to walk the same path. Upon launch, it will compete with TVS iQube, Ola S1 Air, Bajaj Chetak, etc. Before the Vida VX2 is launched in the Indian market, here are some key details about the upcoming electric scooter. Vida VX2: Design The Vida VX2 has been teased through a teaser video online. As it seems, the electric scooter draws design inspiration from the Vida Z electric scooter concept that was displayed at the EICMA 2024. The electric scooter will come with a design that will resemble the V2. However, there will be some distinctive styling elements as well. It will come with LED lighting at the front and rear, including LED daytime running lights (DRL) integrated into the LED headlamp, LED indicators and LED taillight. Also, there will be a flat seat, basic toggle buttons at the handlebars, and a digital instrument cluster. Vida VX2: Equipment Being an affordable electric scooter, Vida VX2 will come implementing some cost-cutting measures, which will see the EV getting drum brakes at both ends instead of disc brakes. However, the higher trims of the VX2 may get a disc brake at the front. There will be a smaller digital display with physical buttons in comparison to a touchscreen. Also, there will be a conventional key ignition system instead of a keyless or mobile app-based ignition system. Vida VX2: Powertrain The Vida VX2 is expected to be underpinned by the same modular architecture that houses the Vida V2. Powering the Vida VX2 would be multiple battery pack choices, ranging from 2.2 kWh to 3.4 kWh units. Expect the VX2 to offer a range of more than 100 kilometres on a full charge. However, the range will depend on the battery pack variant. The EV will come with removable battery packs for easy indoor charging or battery swapping. Vida VX2: Pricing and BaaS model Vida VX2 is expected to come available at a starting price of around ₹ 1 lakh (ex-showroom). However, the company has already revealed that the VX2 will come with a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model, which will offer a subscription plan to the buyers, allowing them to subscribe to batteries separately. This will allow them to pay the company subscription cost depending on usage per kilometre. Expect the consumers who would opt for the BaaS model to be able to buy the EV at around ₹ 70,000 (ex-showroom). Check out Upcoming EV Bikes in India. First Published Date: 29 Jun 2025, 10:55 AM IST

'82 per cent of offline retailers want to go digital, the marketplace being the most preferred platform for sales,' the report added. According to the report's findings, the Indian retail sector is undergoing a dramatic transformation, with 60 per cent of businesses planning to adopt AI and ML by 2030 to stay competitive, and 44 per cent betting on AI-powered personalisation to enhance the shopping experience for their customers. Despite the shift online, the physical retail experience still holds value. According to the survey, 71 per cent of businesses say customers shop in person to touch and see products before making a purchase. According to retailers, personalised in-store service (66 per cent) and instant product access (59 per cent) are the other top reasons consumers prefer an in-store experience.
