Nandan Nilekani, speaking at the Global Fintech Fest 2026, said the rise of artificial intelligence could pose a greater jobs risk for large companies, where structured tasks and roles make it easier to automate work.
“In the world of AI, one of the big concerns is what happens to jobs, and it's a legitimate concern because large companies can actually apply AI effectively to reduce jobs because they are very structured in their activities,” Nilekani said.
