India's IT model faces disruption as AI challenges traditional labor advantages, prompting calls for innovation. Workforce surveys reveal widespread AI use but low readiness for its long-term impact. Experts emphasize the need for inclusive governance, education reform, and decision-focused data use to navigate AI's growing role.
