Introduction

On May 12, 2026, Indian IT companies lost a lot of money. This happened because of new AI technology and bad money reports.

Main Body

Big companies like Tata and Infosys saw their prices go down. The IT sector lost 25.4 per cent of its value this year. This is much worse than other companies. Many people now spend money on AI. They do not buy old IT services. A company called OpenAI started a new project with 4 billion dollars. This makes people worry about old IT jobs. Tata Consultancy Services made less money than last year. This is the first time since 2004. Also, the Indian rupee is very weak. This is because oil prices are high and some countries are fighting.

Conclusion

Indian IT companies are in trouble. AI and world problems make it hard for them to grow.
