The Indian hiring data backs your deployment-layer thesis. Naukri JobSpeak May 2026: AI/ML hiring for 13-to-16-year engineers grew 32 percent YoY against a flat overall index, and Zinnov pegs architect-level GenAI demand-to-supply at 10:1. That is the labor DeployCo is really monetizing: not strategy decks, the unglamorous integration capacity between a frontier model and a legacy ERP, much of it sitting in Indian delivery centers. The labs did not rescue the consultancies, they admitted implementation distribution is the moat. Which leaves one open question: what happens to boutique firms with no bench to distribute?
