thebalanced.newsIndian IT Stocks Decline Over 3% After OpenAI Launches AI Deployment Venture

This move raised concerns about potential disruption to traditional IT service providers like Infosys, TCS, and HCLTech. The selloff was also influenced by broader market worries including geopolitical tensions, weak earnings outlooks, and uncertainty over US economic conditions, impacting investor sentiment across the sector.
