Infosys, one of India's most closely watched technology services firms, finds itself at a crossroads familiar to many institutions navigating the gap between what the market expects and what the world delivers. A modest but meaningful cut to its annual revenue forecast — arriving alongside a leadership transition and the quiet pressure of AI reshaping how clients value human-led services — sent shares lower and prompted two major brokerages to step back from their optimism.
