Data center servers symbolizing AI optimism lifting global software and Indian IT stocks including NVDA

Key Points

Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang said AI agents will boost, not replace, software firms
Huang told Computex that Nvidia (NVDA) has supply for “very robust” CPU and GPU growth
Indian Nifty 50 index rebounded as IT services shares rallied after Huang’s remarks
Infosys (INFY) and TCS led the recovery while some global software peers remain down over 20%

Huang defends outlook for software in AI era

At Computex on June 2, 2026, Nvidia (NVDA) chief executive Jensen Huang argued that advances in agentic artificial intelligence would support, rather than undermine, traditional software companies. He said, “This is actually an incredible time to be a software company,” contending that AI agents will rely heavily on software tools, databases and platforms instead of rendering them obsolete.

Huang’s comments directly addressed concerns that powerful AI systems might displace demand for enterprise software. By positioning AI agents as customers and users of existing and new software products, his remarks sought to counter the narrative that software firms face structural decline as AI adoption accelerates.

Nvidia highlights strong but constrained chip supply

Also at Computex on June 2, Reuters reported that Huang said Nvidia has secured supply to accommodate what he described as “very robust growth” in central processing units (CPUs) and graphics processing units (GPUs). The company nevertheless remains supply-constrained, indicating that demand for its chips continues to outpace available capacity.

This combination of strong demand and ongoing constraints underscores the central role Nvidia expects to play in the build-out of AI infrastructure. While Huang did not provide specific shipment or capacity figures, his remarks suggested that chip availability should support continued expansion of AI workloads, which in turn could drive further use of software tools and services.

Indian equity markets rebound on IT sector surge

Market reaction to Huang’s comments was particularly visible in India. Bloomberg reported on June 3, 2026, that the Nifty 50 index staged a strong comeback on Tuesday, ending a four-day losing streak as shares of software services firms surged after Huang rebuffed concerns that AI would disrupt the industry.

Infosys (INFY) and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) were identified as leading the rebound in India’s IT sector. Their gains helped drive the broader index higher, signaling a shift in investor sentiment toward software and IT services names following the reassurance that AI agents are expected to depend on, rather than displace, their offerings.

Earlier pressure on global software valuations

The rally in Indian IT stocks followed a period of broader weakness in global software shares. The Times of India reported on June 2, 2026, that investor anxiety had weighed on the sector, with companies including Atlassian, Salesforce (CRM) and SAP (SAPd) having fallen more than 20% since the start of 2026.

These declines reflected concerns that rapid AI progress could erode the business models of established software providers. Huang’s subsequent remarks at Computex, and the positive reaction in Indian markets, highlighted how AI-related commentary from a major hardware supplier can influence sentiment across software and IT services equities worldwide.

Key Takeaways

Nvidia’s leadership framed AI agents as an additional demand driver for software platforms, which helped ease fears about long-term pressure on software business models.
The sharp rebound in the Nifty 50, led by Infosys (INFY) and TCS, shows how closely regional IT indices are tracking global signals on AI disruption risk.
Despite Nvidia securing capacity for strong CPU and GPU growth, persistent supply constraints underline continued tightness in AI infrastructure, with implications for both hardware and software providers.
