Good Morning, Welcome to Top Of The Morning, I'm Nelson John. TCS chairman N. Chandrasekaran just made one of the boldest calls in Indian IT history, predicting the company could soon run as many AI agents as human employees. On today's Top of the Morning, we unpack what that means for six million engineers and a sector built on scale. We also cover PM Modi's NITI Aayog meeting with the states on jobs and skilling, the war in West Asia weighing on the economy, the government's push to build four new world-class private universities, Abu Dhabi's nearly ₹2,000 crore Lenskart share sale, and Adani Green Energy's record-breaking run alongside its growing debt. Plus a quick headline roundup on the markets, foreign investor outflows, the RBI's stance, Zepto's IPO filing, and more. Five stories. One clear eyed briefing. No noise.

Mukesh Bansal hasn't written code in 20 years. In the last 60 days, he built two fully functional websites, an iOS app integrating four frontier AI models, and a working health tracker — live, on camera, in under an hour.This isn't your usual conversation about AI. It's a live demonstration of what's possible right now.In this solo episode of SparX, Mukesh shares his unfiltered journey from non-technical founder to hands-on builder — and why he believes the distinction between "tech" and "non-tech" has permanently ceased to exist. He walks through everything he's built using Claude Code, what it took to get there, and why he's now telling every senior leader he knows: stop managing, start building.He also brings in four live AI agents — Claude Opus, GPT, Gemini, and Grok — who join the conversation, debate each other, and answer questions in real time. The results are as revealing as they are entertaining.What you'll see built live in this episode:A fully playable Snake game — in under 2 minutesA health tracker that logs fitness, runs guided meditation, and analyses your meal from a photo — all built in under 60 minutes, while recording this podcastWhat you'll take away:Why the barrier between technical and non-technical founders has collapsedHow to think about "terminal roadmaps" — and why resource constraints are no longer an excuseWhat this means for India's 6 million IT services employees and the $300B industry they powerWhy senior managers who refuse to become hands-on builders will be left behindThe one skill that matters more than ever: systems-level thinkingWhy distribution — not code — is now the only real moat"I can build a better version of Myntra in a few weeks.

At Kochi's Infopark, two models of the IT industry sit 500 metres apart. Infosys and Wipro: sprawling campuses, thousands of engineers, margins built on scale. IBM: a smaller hub, senior-heavy teams, focused on enterprise AI. Same city, completely different bets on the future.India's IT giants are expanding into tier-2 cities because they're cheaper. But AI is quietly making the old logic — hire more, deliver at scale — look like the wrong answer. Infosys and Wipro's stocks have nearly halved since 2021. IBM's has doubled.So what does Kochi reveal about where Indian IT is actually headed?Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

In this episode of Business Line's podcast, Sanjana B speaks with Joseph Anantharaju, Co-chairman & CEO, Happiest Minds Technologies, on how the surge in enterprise AI is reshaping the IT services industry. As players like OpenAI and Anthropic roll out enterprise tools, Anantharaju argues the real opportunity lies in building customised applications on top of these models. He outlines the main barriers to adoption — fragmented data, legacy systems and security concerns — and explains why data quality and governance are now central to AI success. The conversation also looks at how AI is changing software development, pushing engineers towards design, architecture and domain expertise, while nudging firms to move from a coding-led to an outcomes-driven approach. Despite automation, he expects Indian IT to remain a major employer, with demand shifting towards modernisation, security and data-led services. (Host: Sanjana B; Producer: Siddharth Mathew Cherian.

He told me the actual story of how computers entered Mumbai, when fax machines died, and what the analog-to-digital transition really felt like from the inside.But this conversation went way beyond his career.We talked about marriage — whether it genuinely gets boring, why Indian parents obsess over their children's weddings, and the quiet comedy of hen-pecked husbands. We talked about his worst rejection, his love for rock music, his brush with Jethro Tull, and the 90s scene of LP cassette piracy and booking movie tickets by hand.We got into the business of comedy too — how clubs are designed, what Indian comedy looked like before stand-up existed, and why startups keep trying to gamify human connection.And we didn't stop there. Modi's larger-than-life image, Soho House networking, the builder-politician nexus in Maharashtra, pressure on kids, education abroad, cultural diversity — Atul had takes on all of it.I also shared a farewell story from my own life that I've never told on the podcast before.Timestamps:00:00 - Intro01:14 - Agencies vs Artists08:39 - Hen Pecker Husbands?11:24 - Does Marriage Get Boring?14:34 - Indian Parents Obsessed with Children's Marriage17:39 - Is Rocket Singh Based on Reality?21:17 - How He Got Into Computer Industry28:02 - Atul's Worst Rejection29:44 - Analog India vs Digital India32:18 - When Did Fax Machines Go?33:41 - Computer Adoption in Mumbai37:19 - Startups Gamifying Human Connection39:58 - His Love for Rock42:32 - Vinamre's Podcast with Roger Waters?45:03 - Atul Meeting Jethro Tull47:55 - LP Cassettes Piracy in 90s50:34 - Booking Movie Tickets in 90s53:34 - How are Comedy Clubs Designed55:19 - Comedy in India before Stand Ups58:56 - End of Modi's Larger Than Life Perception?1:02:41 - How Atul Looks So Young?1:04:51 - Meeting People at Soho House1:12:22 - Politicians and Builders in Maharashtra1:14:13 - Vinamre's INSANE Farewell Story1:19:14 - The Shrink and The Nut1:25:34 - Pressure on Kids, Education Abroad & Cultural Diversity1:41:01 - Conclusion====================================================================Vinamre Kasanaa is a writer at heart, podcaster and entrepreneur by craft.He spends a significant part of his time reading and researching.With over 500 podcasts under his belt, he's interviewed everyone—from HNIs and industry leaders to everyday superheroes.Follow Vinamre:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vinamre-kasanaa-b8524496/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vinamrekasanaa/Twitter: https://twitter.com/VinamreKasanaaDostcast: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dostcast/Twitter: https://twitter.com/dostcast====================================================================Contact Us:For business inquiries: dostcast@egiplay.com
On April 7, the AI firm Anthropic, which makes the popular Claude product, said that a new model it's been working on, Mythos, is so powerful at finding cybersecurity vulnerabilities that it would not release it publicly. Instead, the company said, it would share the model with tech firms that make the foundational critical software that are widely used across the economy. The initiative, known as Project Glasswing, has led to cybersecurity concerns at most firms, who must now contend with AI-enabled attackers using so-called “zero-day” exploits which are unknown even to a given piece of software's developers, and therefore are not patched through software updates. Mythos, Anthropic says, has already found — and enabled patches for — bugs over a decade old in software that has been intensely audited by humans and automated systems millions of times. The Hindu reported last week that the Union government and the Indian IT sector's main cybersecurity body are both studying the implications of Mythos.

Last week, nearly ₹2 lakh crore vanished from Indian IT stocks in just four days. A big reason was Anthropic's new product, Claude Cowork. Suddenly investors were confronted with an unsettling reality: what if the work Indian IT has long depended on is now the easiest to automate?For almost 20 years, India's IT giants have been unstoppable compounding machines. They built empires worth hundreds of billions of dollars by doing one thing very well: renting out smart people by the hour to write code and run technology for Western clients. But when code starts to write itself, what happens to these companies?Conversations about IT services usually lump all these firms together, as if they are the same business with different logos. In this episode, we break them apart. We ask a simple but uncomfortable question: in an AI-first world, who thrives and who gets left behind? We take five of the biggest IT services firms in India's orbit—TCS, Infosys, Wipro, HCL Tech and Cognizant—and rank them on who is best placed right now for what's coming next. Spoiler: the answer is not what the last 20 years of market-cap tables would suggest.To do this, we brought in two people who have lived this industry from the inside.Krishnakumar Natarajan co-founded Mindtree in 1999 and built it into a multi-billion dollar global IT services firm. He later chaired NASSCOM and now runs Mela Ventures, where he backs early-stage deep tech and enterprise startups.Vivek Kant spent over two decades in IT services across Tech Mahindra and Cognizant, then moved to the other side of the table as CTO at Bajaj Markets and as an advisor at Boston Consulting Group. He still codes 3-4 hours a day using AI. You can check out his blogs here.The board is set. The King, the Rook, the Knight, and the Bishop. The question is: who makes the first move?_________This episode of Two by Two was produced by Uddantika Kashyap and mixed and mastered by Rajiv CN, our resident sound engineer.

Good economic data just crashed the market. US job numbers are too strong, meaning interest rates aren't coming down. This hit Indian IT stocks hard. Simultaneously, Oil is heating up again.

In early February, Indian IT stocks crashed 6% in a single day—the worst selloff in six years. ₹2 lakh crore vanished. Wall Street lost $300 billion.The trigger? Anthropic launched Claude Cowork, an AI agent that can organize files, parse spreadsheets, and write reports autonomously. For the first time, AI doesn't just assist—it executes entire workflows with minimal supervision. Investors panicked, and experts coined the term "SaaSpocalypse." But is this really the end of software companies, or are we watching an overreaction? Today, host Rachel Varghese unpacks both sides.Tune in.Listen to our episode on Deloitte's AI blunder here.

Microsoft, Amazon, Google, GS, JP Morgan Chase, Deloitte, Walmart, Bosch, Adobe, Target, Salesforce, AstraZeneca.What's common to these dozen organisations? Other than the fact that they are, well, large, well-respected and innovative?They all operate their own development and innovation centres in India. Often sprawling campuses and offices across multiple cities, filled with Indian engineers, project managers, product experts, designers, HR, finance and, well, virtually every function that's required to run a business.They're called GCCs. Global Capability Centres.There are over 1,000 global organisations that collectively operate over 1,700 GCCs across India. They employ over 2 million professionals. They generate over $40 billion in annual value, set to surpass $100 billion in another five years.So, what's the problem?Well, most GCCs are technically doing work that could have been outsourced to Indian outsourcers like Infosys, TCS, Wipro, HCL, etc. In fact, GCCs are so successful a strategy that they're growing much faster than Indian outsourcers.And as if taking away potential revenue from Indian outsourcers weren't enough, GCCs are now also taking away talent. That's right. They're hiring experienced and talented professionals using higher salaries, better brands and the promise of better work.It appears to be a zero-sum game. A pie that isn't growing.Both our guests for today's episode are experts on GCCs, and they had a lot to say about the same. Our first guest is Narayana Ramamurthy, whom you'll hear us address as ‘Naru' throughout the discussion. Naru is the founder and CEO of Workfutr, a company which enables US and European organisations to harness India's offshore capability in technology, operations, and transformation.
