Why Is Kotak Equities Cautious On Indian IT Growth Outlook?
Kotak Institutional Equities, in an interview with CNBC-TV18, highlighted structural and macro challenges facing the Indian IT sector. The brokerage expects growth to remain under pressure in the near term but sees selective opportunities in quality names.
What Are The Key Growth Headwinds?
According to Kotak, three major factors are weighing on the industry:
• Weak global macroeconomic environment
• Shift of large clients towards captive centers
• Rising adoption of Generative AI disrupting traditional IT services
How Will Generative AI Affect The Sector?
Kotak estimates a gross impact of 15% on Indian IT revenues from Generative AI over the next three years. However, the net effect is expected to be around 8% after factoring in efficiency gains and new opportunities.
Which Stocks Stand Out As Favourites?
Kotak maintains preference for Infosys, Tech Mahindra, and Coforge, citing their ability to adapt business models, manage client transitions, and invest in AI capabilities.

When Could Growth Recover?
Kotak expects the macro environment to turn supportive by FY27, potentially improving sector growth by 250 basis points. This recovery hinges on stabilization in client budgets and a revival in global demand.
Investor Takeaway
Indian IT is facing a transition phase with macro headwinds and AI-led disruption, but select players like Infosys, Tech Mahindra, and Coforge remain well-positioned. Investors should watch for FY27 recovery cues and align with quality stocks for medium-term opportunities.
