It says investors fear tighter US oversight could slow the AI infrastructure build-out. Those market moves are reported figures, not a verdict on the long-term prospects of either AI or Indian IT. The paper describes Indian IT as having an “anti-AI” advantage. Is that a durable business case, or a temporary trade while investors reassess AI’s costs?
