Anand Mahindra, chairman of the Mahindra Group, addressed the impact of artificial intelligence on the IT services industry during a shareholder meeting on July 20, 2026. He stated that AI will not kill the IT services industry but will make it more vital, arguing that while AI is moving to the center of business operations, making it work reliably and securely at enterprise scale is difficult. He said that companies like Tech Mahindra are needed to integrate, govern, and shape AI around each enterprise's context, comparing AI to a smartphone that becomes indispensable through the enabling layer provided by IT services. Mahindra also discussed the concept of "enterprise alpha," which he described as a company's data, workflows, judgment, and domain knowledge. He said that while building sovereign models is important, enterprises will increasingly need the ability to work across models, and that Tech Mahindra's role is to help preserve that alpha through platforms, solutions, and workflows that sit above and around the model.

“I think this debate is in the wrong direction because this debate is about the quantity of work. My point is we have to focus on the quality of work not on the quantity of work.
