Salil Parekh, CEO and Managing Director of Infosys, participated in the 2026 Bloomberg New Economy Forum in New Delhi on October 13, where he discussed the physical constraints of scaling artificial intelligence alongside other industry leaders. During the panel, Parekh noted that enterprise clients are already active users of AI services, citing that AI-related work accounted for approximately 8% of Infosys' revenue in the previous quarter, with double-digit quarter-on-quarter growth. He described Infosys' AI services as including building agents, modernizing legacy technology, and working on cloud code for clients, and emphasized the importance of training and skills development in this area. In a September 7 conversation at Infosys Connect in Los Angeles, Parekh discussed how enterprise leaders are moving beyond AI experimentation toward measurable business outcomes. He outlined two primary dimensions of AI value: accelerating growth through more targeted customer engagement and improving efficiency across areas such as customer service, supply chains, software engineering, and business operations. Parekh also described Infosys' approach to workforce development, stating that the company reskilled its teams with new AI foundation models and toolkits, recruited approximately 20,000 college graduates in the previous year, and had no plans for layoffs. He encouraged peers to deploy AI at scale, noting that the technology has proven itself and that partnerships can help manage the learning process.
