India’s technology services sector will continue to grow in the AI era: Nasscom US CEO Forum

Published

NEW YORK, June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The technology services sector in India will continue to remain central to global enterprises transformation in the AI era. AI does not reduce the relevance of technology services; it changes how services are delivered and scaled, while expanding the addressable opportunity across enterprise modernization, data, AI governance and intelligent operations.

This was a key area of discussion at the Nasscom US CEO Forum held today at the Consulate General of India, New York City. The forum brought together Governor Matt Meyer, Secretary Charuni Patibanda-Sanchez, and CEOs of leading Indian technology companies operating in the United States.

Leaders emphasized that the impact of AI on technology services cannot be assessed only through the lens of task automation. While AI will bring productivity gains and compress parts of standardized, repeatable work, it will also expand demand for technology orchestration, data readiness, application modernization, AI governance, cybersecurity, agent management and industry specific solutions.

The sector is already moving in this direction. Nearly 25% of technology services companies have moved AI experiments into production. The industry is generating an estimated USD 10 to 12 billion in AI services revenue, with more than 2 million professionals skilled in AI and 100,000 to 200,000 trained in advanced AI capabilities. Around 85% of technology service providers now have agentic AI platforms.

As enterprises move beyond pilots, the real challenge will be to make AI work in complex operating environments.

Addressing this, Ravi Kumar S, Chair, Nasscom US CEO Forum, said, “The next phase of AI is not about experimentation alone. Enterprises now need to convert AI capability into production value. That requires data readiness, workflow redesign, secure deployment, governance and change management. These are areas where Indian technology services companies have deep experience and a strong opportunity to lead.”

Rajesh Nambiar, President Nasscom, said, “For more than three decades, Indian technology services companies have helped global enterprises navigate major technology shifts. That rationale for enterprise technology partnerships remains strong in the AI era. Companies will continue to focus on their core businesses and will need specialist partners to deploy and scale AI responsibly. As AI moves into production, enterprises will have to bring together models, applications, data platforms, cloud environments, cybersecurity controls, regulatory requirements and industry systems into a reliable operating model. The value of IT services will increasingly lie in making these systems work together securely, efficiently and at scale.”

At the same time, Agentic AI is expected to open USD 300 to 400 billion in additional addressable spend pools for technology services by 2030 across data for AI, legacy modernisation, agentic workflows, AI operations, cybersecurity and AI governance. India is strongly placed for this transition. The sector brings global delivery maturity, deep enterprise technology capability, a large AI skilled workforce, strong domain expertise and a growing ecosystem across AI platforms, startups, GCCs and sovereign AI solutions. The opportunity will come from global enterprises as well as Indian enterprises and government led digital platforms that require trusted, secure and population scale AI deployment.

The next phase of growth will be driven by enterprise AI transformation, AI foundations, application modernisation, AI operations, trust and governance, and vertical AI solutions. Business process services will also move from transaction execution to intelligence operations, with AI automating routine work and human effort shifting towards supervision, exception handling, analytics, decision support and quality assurance.

India’s technology services sector has navigated multiple enterprise technology shifts over the last three decades. Future growth will be less dependent on linear headcount addition and more dependent on platforms, domain solutions, proprietary assets, intelligent operations, governance frameworks and outcome-based delivery. This will require sustained investment in advanced AI skills, responsible AI, cybersecurity, agentic platforms and new commercial models.

While AI is a larger and faster technology transition, the technology services industry’s core strength remains unchanged in helping enterprises adopt complex technologies and translate them into business value.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
