NEW YORK and NOIDA, India, May 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- HCLTech (NSE: HCLTECH) (BSE: HCLTECH), a leading global technology company, today released findings from its latest Enterprise AI Market Report, The AI Impact Imperatives, 2026, highlighting a growing execution gap as enterprises race to scale AI while facing mounting pressure to deliver results within increasingly compressed timeframes.
The research, based on a global survey of 467 senior executives responsible for AI investments across enterprises with more than $1 billion in annual revenue, finds that while AI adoption is now widespread across IT operations, software engineering and business functions, nearly 43% of major AI initiatives are expected to fail. The risk is not driven by lack of experimentation or access to tools, but by the difficulty of translating ambition into consistent, enterprise–wide outcomes.
