12000 Oracle India employees were let go this week. They received an email at 6am telling them it’s their last day. It’s brutal. Impact of AI is just starting. India is especially vulnerable given its back office focused projects. These kind of things have a domino effect. Your maids, drivers, laundrymen, delivery folks will also get impacted. Whole economy would suffer. Kids graduating in IT, Computers would find it even more difficult. Transition is going to take a long time.

Did you miss over 1.2 million layoffs in last 1 year in the US?

Also, all big tech have invested billions in India- again in last one year. Unless you only meant consulting offshore- “it’s back office focused projects” - that is so outdated. Companies have literally shifted a lot of functions to India . Perhaps worry more about the US and your job here. Not saying India won’t have an impact, but assuming you are in the US and you are a consultant, you are on the far bigger chopping block
