‘End of middle class…’: Atomberg founder warns AI will hit white-collar jobs in India

Atomberg Arindam Paul founded a flagrant warning about the AI ​​crisis, which is looming on the horizon in India. Paul wrote to LinkedIn: “Nearly 40-50 percent of the functions of white collars today may stop existence,” adding that if that happens, it will include the end of the middle class in India and the consumption story.

His comments follow similar concerns raised by the founder of Zoho, SRIDHAR VEMBU, who also seemed a warning to the future of software functions in India in an artificial intelligence world.

“I do not think that most people, including our leaders, still understand how the artificial intelligence threat of our economy could be,” Paul wrote, calling for the deep risks that India faces while artificial intelligence benefits the tasks that white collar workers deal with.

Paul added: “Our manufacture is not close to the place where it should be when it comes to generating jobs that pay 3-6 kits annually,” noting that India’s failure to build a strong industrial base can weaken the strike from the contraction of white workers.

With a direct goal in the leading India and Bio sectors, Paul warned that they would see a “significant decrease in the workforce and in many cases in their business.” While it is believed that companies like Infosys “will survive and some may flourish,” was frank in his saying, “They will not hire nearly many people as they do.”

“Nearly 40-50 percent of the functions of white collars today may stop existence,” Paul repeated, stressing that such a transformation “means the end of the middle class and the consumption story.”

He also criticized companies for being short -sighted into celebrating the efficiency that artificial intelligence drives.

“Although all companies are happy today because artificial intelligence will reduce the workforce, increase efficiency and improve the bottom bottom, they forget that without jobs and money in the hands of the consumer, there will be no higher line.”

While he hopes his predictions will be fulfilled, “I hope that none of this happens and we will continue to develop our gross domestic product on an absolute level as well as at the individual level, but I also believe that this is the most likely scenario for India unless we really double manufacturing.”

Paul’s post Sridhar Vembu, from Zoho, who recently written on X is “pessimistic about the software market, even before the artificial intelligence calculates.” VEMBU warned of “huge excess capacity” in the IT sector and “double efficiency” in services to use external sources, adding that artificial intelligence may eventually devour a large part of the icon symbol that drives large information technology projects.
