OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google are bypassing traditional IT outsourcers by directly embedding AI capabilities into enterprise customers through private equity partnerships. This displaces the high-margin consulting and custom development work that Indian firms like TCS and Infosys have built their $200B+ industry on. Unlike price competition, a single AI deployment can replace entire teams of developers and business analysts, collapsing the unit economics of project-based services that account for roughly 40% of India's IT export revenue. The PE partnership model accelerates this shift by providing capital, distribution, and industry expertise to scale AI-first solutions faster than legacy providers can retool their workforce and business models.
