Vineet Nayar says the Tech Industry is at an Inflection Point, Not Crisis Mode

Vineet Nayar, the former HCL Technologies CEO who once flipped corporate hierarchies on their head is now reimagining classrooms at scale through Sampark Foundation. In this episode of The Morning Brief, host Anirban Chowdhury and ET’s tech reporter Beena Parmar talk to Nayar on the big questions: Is AI truly disrupting India’s $100-billion IT industry, or is it just cost-cutting in a new avatar? Why does India lead in public digital innovation yet falter at building breakthrough global products? And can the education system shift from producing knowledge workers to nurturing real problem solvers? Drawing on career-defining inflection points, Nayar reflects on the future of technology and education in India. From layoffs and AI hype to policy and innovation gaps, the conversation offers candid insights into how crises can be converted into opportunities and how both boardrooms and classrooms must evolve to keep pace.
