      Your explanation of utilisation missed a very very major point. The utilisation rate, is factoring in ALL employees including HR, Senior management, sweepers, electricians, etc. Obviously the admin, and sernior management and people like VP's, many DM's, sales. etc do not get billed. Thats the reason even if EVERY programmer worked 100% billable and the bench was zero the utilisation may still not show 100%. Infact in the current mix of the indian IT sector about 15-18% of the staff is non-programmers. So the utilisation of 85% is probably the peak any organisation can achieve in the current indian IT services sector.

    It is not at all because of Ai. There is not enough enterprise use cases of gen ai. It is more of supplementing contact centres and not really replacements. The reality is interest rates have been persistently high and that has caused a dip in client spends and especially the discretionary spending has been affected. The portfolio size of cost transformation multi year deals have only gone up. Liked how you packaged the course by using gen Ai as the reason 😅😅

    Hi Pavan, can we have a video on how and why most IT firms in India arrived at a 3 months notice period? Why is this not moving back to 2 or 1 month , given the murky project prospects in 2024?
    None of these labour laws apply to IT services firms...so no one can even challenge a 3 months notice in contract/appointment letter!

    Thank you Pavan for sharing your thoughts. I dont see a logic in your mention of reducing billing rates leading to higher utilisation, it cannot be because the same resource weather paid 40$ or 50$ is expected to deliver same amount of work per day. In my opinion, there is a strong competition now in Indian IT firms and on top highly matured processes, hence the higher utilization. Layoffs will be invitable because Indian staff is no longer cost advantage and % of westerns graduating in IT is higher and govts are compelled to create local employment.
