In September 2026, Aiman Ezzat discussed Capgemini’s strategy and performance in interviews with CNBC-TV18, marking the company’s 26 years in India. He stated that India is central to Capgemini’s operations, noting the workforce there has grown to over 230,000 employees, representing 60% of the global total. Ezzat described the India team’s mandate as shifting from technology deployment to delivering measurable client value, including profitability, speed to market, and innovation, and mentioned an initiative called “shift to value” being driven by the India CEO. Ezzat also addressed the company’s financial outlook and market position, referencing the $3.3 billion acquisition of WNS and the “Fit For Growth” reset. He said Capgemini reported €12.1 billion in revenue for the first half of 2026, up 8.8% year-on-year, and raised its full-year growth guidance to 8.5–9%. He expressed skepticism about the view that AI agents will replace knowledge workers, arguing that the addressable market for services has expanded beyond IT budgets to include broader business transformation programs, which he estimated could represent a new market in the hundreds of billions of dollars.
