CEO Ravi Kumar S of Cognizant predicts a profitable future for the company by leveraging intelligent connected physical products as the main growth factor despite economic turbulence. Kumar highlighted the transformative impact of AI on software development, noting that machines are increasingly writing code. “Software is going to be written by machines,” he said, explaining that this automation will create spending elasticity, allowing companies to redirect savings toward innovation in autonomous and connected products.

Kumar views technology as the essential instrument to boost productivity along with efficiency despite worldwide volatility. His analysis reveals that customers from various industries deal with demanding issues especially in the manufacturing industry as well as automotive and consumer retail and travel and tourism and logistics where tariffs create obstacles. Second-order impacts through weakened consumer spending might spread from affected sectors into resilient business areas such as BFSI although these sectors currently experience direct impacts according to Kumar. Cognizant reports strong financial results alongside commitment to enduring customer service requirements because the company has not faced any service cancellations or suspension activities.

The company maintains its strategic direction towards intelligent physical engineering because it foresees technology integration into physical goods transforming them into autonomous connected devices throughout the next ten years. Businesses are set to increase the impact of technology across their operations through the efficiency improvements enabled by AI-generated software according to his outlook. Cognizant uses expedited software development methods to assist clients with futuristic innovation investments which position the company at the forefront of this transformative industry.

The company demonstrates its positive outlook through its Indian operations that rely on talent pools located in Chennai and Bengaluru for worldwide client assistance. The technological landscape gives Kumar reason to believe clients will prosper by embracing innovation through underwriting and creating new opportunities. Cognizant maintains firm control over its pipeline while encountering no interruption to its deals because of which the company stands strong to lead intelligent and connected product development which will reconstruct industries under conditions of AI-driven advancement.
