In early February 2026, global technology stocks witnessed a sharp and sustained sell-off, with benchmarks like the Nasdaq and India’s Nifty IT index plunging and wiping out hundreds of billions of dollars in market value. The Nifty IT index alone erased over ₹2 lakh crore as investors reassessed the future of traditional IT services and SaaS businesses. The trigger was growing fear that advanced AI systems can now execute full business workflows autonomously, threatening long-standing software licensing and outsourcing models. This shift has been labelled the “Patil effect”, linked to Anthropic CTO Rahul Patil’s push to make Claude AI enterprise-ready, faster, cheaper and capable of end-to-end task execution. Markets reacted as investors rapidly repriced legacy tech companies amid concerns that AI could bypass both software applications and human-led services, accelerating a structural revaluation of the global tech sector.
