Bottom line: AI hits Indian IT hard, but repetitive labor suffers more than coding

Over the past few days, I broke down several projects on my plate to specifically test how far generative LLMs can go in Indian IT outsourcing scenarios. I'm not from an outsourcing background myself, but a few teams on the client side handle data processing and junior QA, so I used their work as a testing ground.

That's the truth. I ran some automation tasks with WorkBuddy last week and got the same vibe. Repetitive low-level roles will definitely get wiped out first, but the people doing reviews and serving as the safety net are actually becoming more valuable.
