Founder predicts mass tech layoffs as 2-person AI teams replace big corp teams

Upsurge founder sowmayjain argues that within 6-12 months AI innovation will decimate big corporations: every double-digit team gets replaced by a 2-person team running AI-native operations, making mass tech unemployment inevitable. He claims this isn't speculation—over 80% of coordination, communication and development at his company already runs through their own AI agent "Jarvis". Unless India builds a globally competitive foundational model, he says, the entire tech services layer commoditizes.
