Abstract
The Indian Information Technology (IT) sector has long been the backbone of the nation’s service-led economic growth. However, as we progress through 2026, the sector is undergoing a fundamental metamorphosis driven by the rapid integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) and Autonomous Agents. Historically, technology was viewed as a tool to enhance human productivity; today, AI is increasingly viewed as a collaborator, and in some instances, a competitor. This research explores the dual-edged nature of AI integration: its ability to significantly enhance employee engagement through the automation of mundane tasks, contrasted against the rising psychological anxiety regarding job displacement and long-term career viability.
