In eight trading sessions through last week, India’s IT sector lost about Rs 5.7 lakh crore and the Nifty IT index fell 19%, with bellwethers Infosys and Wipro hitting multi-year lows. The selloff followed Anthropic’s launch of a corporate legal automation tool, prompting JP Morgan to call deep-value buying opportunities in Infosys and TCS, citing high dividend yields.
