Financial Express Pune
|February 21, 2026
LTIMindtree Chief Delivery Officer, Gururaj Deshpande believes the traditional pyramid structure of IT firms is likely to change into a diamond-like shape.
Deshpande tells Ojasvi Gupta there will be fewer roles at the entry level as AI takes over repetitive tasks.Excerpts:
How is this AI wave structurally different for IT services?
Each phase brought disruption, but AI is distinct in both speed and scope. The cycle time of disruption is far shorter now. What earlier took years is happening in months. AI is not just another layer of technology. It is fundamentally altering how work itself is executed, especially across software development, operations, and even consulting workflows.
What are the challenges you face in translating gains from Ai from pilots to scaled outcomes?
