India’s edge is applying AI to real problems, not building chips. Forecasts of mass job loss are overstated; small businesses that use AI will create jobs at scale.
InfyAI runs selective Tech × Business × AI tracks inside partner universities’ on-campus B.Tech, MBA and BBA degrees. Students learn to specify, build, verify and own real work with AI, and earn before they graduate.
Hiring in India is steady but more selective. One side of the first job is shrinking and repricing. The other pays a premium for people who can make AI do useful work, and prove it.
forward-deployed engineers Infosys plans to build, to sit with clients and take AI from pilot to production.
of new roles at India’s global capability centres need AI, data or automation skills. The 0–3-year band is growing fastest, at 18% a year.
of 591 openings across 59 AI-era roles we studied were open to candidates with zero to one year of experience. The door is open, to the right profile.
Ask the people who build AI, and the people who hire at scale, what the next graduate needs. The answers converge: not fewer people, but people who direct the machine, check it and own the result.

Every job will be affected. The risk is not losing your job to AI, but to someone who uses AI well.
AI can do perhaps a third of many jobs, so the job stays. The person who uses AI well will replace the one who doesn’t.
Software is now programmed in plain English. The products that work keep a person in the loop to check and steer what the AI does.
AI unbundles jobs into tasks rather than erasing them. Microsoft has committed to giving 20 million Indians AI skills by 2030.
Infosys is building a pool of about 6,000 engineers who work inside client teams to put AI into production, and will pay for those skills.
TCS is still hiring freshers, 14,000 in one quarter, and does not expect AI to shrink its workforce overall. What changes is how the work is delivered.

A principle that rules nothing out is a slogan. These five decide what we teach, how we grade and what we will never say on this site.
Every year ends with something shipped, sold or earned, reviewed by someone who would pay for it.
Exam-led assessmentStudents direct AI at full speed, and can still explain, debug and defend the work with the tools switched off.
Prompt-and-paste workWe train for roles accountable for revenue, cost, a customer or a product decision.
Roles that are a queue or a ticketA first rupee in Year 1, a paid sprint for a real business in Year 2, an industry semester after.
Unpaid “experience”Every number on this site has a source and a date. Our own outcomes will come with the method.
Guarantees and borrowed proofThe rarest profile in hiring is not the best coder or the best analyst. It is the person who can make AI work inside a real business: a bank’s credit desk, a hospital’s billing team, a software company’s customers.

Students choose one industry and learn its rules, its money and its data.
The university’s Board of Studies approves every course, and the university awards the degree. We never co-award.
Each lane passed four tests: it sits at the intersection, owns an outcome, has a credible path past ₹10 lakh in three to five years, and is still growing in 2031 in five independent studies.
Put AI to work inside a client’s business and own the go-live.

Every student starts a venture in Year 1. Some leave with a company. We count founders separately, and never as placements.
The B.Tech track runs four years. MBA and BBA tracks run the same arc in two. Each stage is defined by work a reviewer can see, not hours attended.
The same studios, the same assessment, the same evidence trail, sized to the degree.
Four years inside a B.Tech, CSE and CSE-AI/DS first. Engineers who also understand an industry, a business function and a customer.
Explore the B.Tech track → In designTwo years inside an MBA. Operators who run growth, revenue and operations workflows with AI, and defend the decisions.
Explore the MBA track → PlannedA two-year journey in digital business, analytics and AI inside a three- or four-year BBA.
See the BBA plan → Pre-final and final year20- to 60-hour modules: AI for business, finance, marketing and scaling a business. Booked by colleges.
See short programmes →A reasoning test, a learn-and-apply task and an interview about something you built, however small. No prior coding needed. Spoken English is trained, not screened.
How selection works →Board-of-Studies-ready courseware with outcome mapping, practitioner co-teaching, assessment infrastructure and an employer network. A Year-1 pilot before any four-year commitment.
How partnership works →Set live briefs, host interns and an industry semester, and judge candidates on work they have shipped and defended, with the verification log attached.
Ways to work with us →A closed circle for faculty, academic leaders, placement teams, IQAC and administrators. A monthly Letter from AI, a live session, AI Studio tools for campus work, and peers from institutions across the country.
No InfyAI cohort has graduated yet. Until one does, you will not see placement rates or salaries presented as ours. Where we show pay, it is third-party market data with its source, sample size and date.
