In a definitive stance at the AI Impact Summit 2026, Info Edge Founder and Executive Vice Chairman Sanjeev Bikhchandani dispelled fears of job losses due to Artificial Intelligence (AI), suggesting instead that AI is a tool for amplifying productivity and expanding business reach.
Highlighting practical applications, Bikhchandani used business scenarios where AI-powered voice bots manage a large number of low-paying clients cost-effectively, thereby allowing companies to penetrate previously unviable markets without workforce expansion.
Addressing the audience of young professionals, he urged a focus on acquiring essential AI tools for career growth, emphasizing that seasoned professionals might not possess such updated skills. Former HCL Technologies CEO, Vineet Nayyar, concurred, forecasting substantial upheaval and job creation in the employment landscape.
