AICoin AI: Narayana Murthy Backs AI as Key Driver for India’s $250B Tech Industry
Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy champions artificial intelligence as a transformative catalyst for India's $250-billion IT sector, framing AI as a productivity multiplier rather than a job threat. His personal use case with OpenAI's ChatGPT—cutting speech preparation time from 30 hours to just five—demonstrates the dramatic efficiency gains possible through AI integration.
Amid ongoing hiring slowdowns, Murthy contends AI will spawn specialized roles requiring advanced problem-solving capabilities, echoing HCLTech CEO C Vijayakumar's push for operational transformation. The Murthy family reinforces this vision through Catamaran's new 20-year IIM Ahmedabad scholarship program, signaling long-term investment in developing AI-ready tech leadership.
