No slowdown in tech spends: Microsoft India head – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Microsoft does not see any slowdown in technology spends in India, the company’s India and South Asia president Puneet Chandok said, adding that “a lot of momentum” is building up on AI with buzz around Copilot and rise in number of use cases across industries in this market that the software maker counts as among its fastest-growing regions.
Chandok said the general perception around AI has shifted from scepticism to optimism, and now to real impact on the ground, with emergence of real, interesting use cases. Microsoft’s AI assistant Copilot has become a verb for artificial intelligence, he said.
Noting that technologies that change the world have to be built responsibly, Chandok emphasised that Microsoft is fully committed to ensuring compliance with all the regulatory requirements, and with new evolving frameworks. Chandok said that India is among the most-exciting markets globally for all technology companies, and for Microsoft.
