Mumbai, Apr 27: IT services major LTIMindtree (LTM) is set to introduce an artificial intelligence-linked pricing model in the first quarter of FY27, marking a shift from traditional billing practices.

The new framework, termed “Blueverse Credit”, will function as an “AI currency” that allows clients to access AI-driven services, purchase outcome-based solutions, or buy defined blocks of work such as cloud migration and modernisation.

According to CEO Venu Lambu, the model combines human effort with digital labour, including AI-powered agents, into a unified pricing structure. “It redefines pricing by integrating both human effort and digital employees,” he said.

The move signals a transition away from conventional time- and capacity-based billing towards a more flexible system aligned with the growing adoption of AI-led workflows. Enterprises are increasingly using autonomous or semi-autonomous AI agents for various tasks, prompting IT firms to rethink monetisation strategies.

Lambu noted that the model will initially be rolled out for select services where humans and AI agents collaborate to deliver outcomes. He also highlighted that the broader industry is gradually shifting towards subscription-based and outcome-driven consumption models.

The development comes amid rising AI adoption across the IT sector, with companies adjusting their business models to reflect productivity gains and changing client expectations.
