India’s IT Faces Automation Squeeze

India’s export‑orientated IT and BPO sector grew by selling remote labor enabled by the internet. As AI and automation reduce the labour intensity of routine coding, customer service and back‑office work, that business model becomes vulnerable unless firms and policy steer up the value chain, invest in complementary skills, or diversify exports. — If accurate, this changes migration, education, and industrial policy debates in India and among its trading partners because millions of jobs and a major export engine are at stake.
