Generative AI is set to fundamentally transform IT services, shifting the industry from traditional headcount-driven models to AI-led engineering, according to Raghu Pareddy, Founder & CEO of Wissen Technology. He shared these insights at the Global AI Leadership Summit 2026 held in Hyderabad.
Speaking during his session on leading GenAI transformation, Pareddy highlighted how AI is rapidly reshaping software development, driving gains across coding, testing and documentation. Despite early adoption, he noted that a vast majority of enterprise applications still lack embedded AI capabilities, presenting a significant opportunity for innovation and modernization.
He emphasised that the future of IT services will be defined by intelligent automation and domain expertise, rather than workforce scale. Enterprises are increasingly adopting AI-assisted development practices, enabling faster delivery cycles, improved productivity and scalable innovation without proportional increases in resources.
Industries such as banking, telecom and healthcare are already leveraging AI for legacy modernisation, automated testing and intelligent documentation. This shift is also accelerating the evolution of Global Capability Centres (GCCs) in India, which are moving beyond execution roles to become hubs of innovation and product development.
Commenting on the transformation, Pareddy said: “Generative AI is moving faster than expected, unlocking productivity across the development lifecycle. The real shift is from headcount-led delivery to AI-enabled engineering, where automation and expertise define outcomes. Enterprises that embrace this change will gain a decisive advantage in building and scaling future-ready digital platforms.”
As AI adoption accelerates, Wissen Technology is strengthening its engineering capabilities to support enterprises in integrating scalable, practical AI solutions across their technology ecosystems.
