Nifty IT jumps 4% after Nvidia CEO's big bet on India's AI future
Mumbai/IBNS: The Nifty IT index surged nearly 4 percent on Monday after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang expressed confidence in India's IT sector and its ability to capitalise on the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution, NDTV Profit reported.
Nvidia Chief's AI Endorsement
Speaking at Nvidia's GTC Taipei Keynote during COMPUTEX 2026, Huang said Indian IT companies are well-positioned to play a key role in the implementation and deployment of AI technologies.
His remarks boosted investor sentiment, triggering a rally in technology stocks on Dalal Street.
IT Stocks Lead Market Gains
The positive momentum pushed the Nifty IT index to 30,177.50 points.
Among the major gainers:
- Tata Consultancy Services (TCS): Up 3.37%
- HCL Technologies: Gained 2.38%
- Wipro: Rose 1.71%
- Infosys: Also traded higher, contributing to the sector-wide rally
The gains reflected growing optimism about the long-term opportunities AI could create for India's software and technology services industry.
AI To Create Opportunities, Not Replace Coders
Addressing concerns that artificial intelligence could make traditional coding jobs obsolete, Huang rejected the notion, saying AI would generate new opportunities rather than eliminate them.
He noted that AI-powered systems and agents would continue to depend on robust enterprise software, creating demand for the expertise and services offered by established technology companies.
Why It Matters
India's IT industry, which serves clients across the globe, has been closely monitoring the impact of generative AI on software development and outsourcing.
While fears of automation replacing jobs have weighed on sentiment in recent months, Huang's comments reinforced the view that AI could become a major growth driver for the sector by creating new business models, products and services.
Investors interpreted the remarks as a positive signal for Indian IT firms, many of which are investing heavily in AI capabilities and partnerships to remain competitive in the evolving technology landscape.
