Indian IT giants are quietly reshaping their future — not through hiring or training, but by buying AI startups across the globe.

Over the last two years, nearly half of all their mergers & acquisitions have one goal: get AI expertise, fast. From Coforge’s $2.35B Encora buy to TCS’s $700M Coastal Cloud deal; these aren’t just numbers. They’re bets on survival in a world where AI is no longer optional. And here’s the twist: most of these targets? Based in the US and Europe. Why? Because that’s where the AI talent, tech, and IP live. But unlike past deals that strained balance sheets, these are being paid for with cash; not debt. Smart move. Yet the real test? Whether they can actually make these bought-in teams work, keep them happy, and turn tech into profit. For job seekers? This signals a quiet shift; AI skills aren't just nice-to-have anymore. They're the currency of the next decade. If you're in tech, ask yourself: are you building for the future; or will someone else buy the future you could’ve built?
