Zoho Founder Sridhar Vembu Warns AI Is Slowing IT Job Creation in India
Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu has warned that artificial intelligence (AI) is slowing job creation in India's IT sector, as companies divert funds from hiring to AI infrastructure and rising data centre costs. While AI boosts software development speed, Vembu questioned the need for more software in an already saturated global market, suggesting growth will slow and focus will shift to quality and reliability. He also highlighted broader economic concerns about job availability amid automation and manufacturing's limited capacity to absorb displaced workers.
