How big a threat or an opportunity is ChatGPT, or applications like it, for Genpact and particularly for the Indian IT sector?
As we see it, it is a big opportunity. And, every big opportunity has its risks, so we will reflect on the risks as well. Not just for the IT sector, for the overall business world, for people, overall populace, it is an opportunity to advance. Hopefully in a few years, the coding language will change from Python to Fortran or to C++ to many others, to English, to Hindi, to Tamil. Therefore, think of elderly people somewhere who want certain applications based on the needs that they may have. They can get answers with far more ease, while behind the scenes, a lot of coding has happened.
So overall, it is a big opportunity for the business world.
