We explain why this matters for the broader tech services sector. Plus, MeitY launches a series of high-profile actions involving Meta, Tata Electronics and Chinese-linked e-rickshaw apps, signalling tougher regulatory oversight across cybersecurity, online safety and national security. We also look at CRED's leadership transition as interim CEO Miten Sampat says the fintech is profitable, well-capitalised and focused on growth after Kunal Shah's move to WhatsApp. And finally, HCLTech lands a massive $1.14 billion AI transformation deal, highlighting the next phase of enterprise AI adoption. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/moneycontrol-podcast-471941/episodes/5227-europe-s-auto-slump-hits-indian-it-new-cred-ceo-interview-meity-cracks-down-hcltech-s-1-14-billion-ai-bet-mc-tech3/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/moneycontrol-podcast-471941/5227-europe-s-auto-slump-hits-indian-it-new-cred-ceo-interview-meity-cracks-down-hcltech-s-1-14-billion-ai-bet-mc-tech3.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
