They price on a per person utilization basis.

And I think pretty soon, probably by the second year in Infosys, I realized that I could do so much more as compared to what I was doing there.

I literally was working, let's say, three hours every day, was in the top quartile, like top 25% of the employees.

And rest of the times I spent improving myself in table tennis, in snooker, swimming, you know, going to gym, learning Age of Empire, playing Counter-Strike.

So I did so much.

Yeah, Infosys for me was, I think there were two things.

One was it was like a second college for me because I could do so many things in Infosys.

But it also laid, I think, the groundwork for, you know, what really came ahead.

I utilized what I learned in Infosys all across my later years.

I think what the problem with all of these older companies is that as you rise, you write less code.

And the domain might change.

The code structures and stacks will change.

So as you rise higher, if you are not in touch with what is happening in the world, you will soon lose touch on the timelines.

So when you know more than your manager from a coding perspective, so let's say it will take me 3-4 days for some work.

I can 2x the time and tell my manager that it's going to take 7-8 days.

He's going to probably 1.5x that and going to give it to his manager without asking me questions.

So I think Infosys was a bit of that at least at that point of time.

I think

Probably, I foresee Indian IT services to be majorly impacted because of AI.

And I think one of the reasons is this as well.
