Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as one of the hottest sectors globally, and its rapid growth trajectory is expected to extend through the rest of the decade.
Heavy investments by big tech into AI are now influencing GDP growth more than consumer spending, with industry leaders already committing to even higher AI capex in 2026.
However, as concerns grow that the AI stock rally may be edging toward bubble territory, global investors are preparing for a potential rotation of capital away from Wall Street's Mag 7, as well as China and Korea, into relatively under owned markets such as India.
In this editorial, we present 3 Indian AI stocks currently trading nearly 40% below their 52-week highs.
However, these are not pure-play AI stocks.
First on the list is Cyient.
Cyient is a global engineering and technology solutions company that collaborates with customers to design digital enterprises, build intelligent products and platforms, and solve sustainability challenges.
Cyient is actively involved in AI. The company integrates AI and Generative AI (GenAI) extensively across its engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, compliance, and customer support workflows.
In 2024, Cyient announced the acquisition of a 27.3% stake in Azimuth AI, a fabless custom application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) company known for its expertise in intelligent energy and power solutions.
The company is primarily as an embedded silicon innovator, designing custom System-on-Chips (SoCs) for efficient edge AI in smart cities, EVs, and industrial settings, focusing on power efficiency and custom AI processing.
On 17 November 2025, Azimuth AI and its wholly owned subsidiary Cyient Semiconductors announced the launch of ARKA GKT 1, India's first-generation intelligent power silicon chip designed for ultra-low power edge AI and smart energy systems.
So far in 2025, up to 12 December, the stock has fallen from its 52-week high of Rs 2,106, recorded on 16 December 2024, to Rs 1167.3, a decline of approximately 44.5%.
One of the key reasons for the decline has been consistent FII selling since the March 2024 quarter, with the highest level of selling recorded in the March 2025 quarter.
In addition, Cyient reported a 3.7% year-on-year decline in revenue for the quarter, with revenue coming in at Rs 17.8 bn. The company also posted a sharp 23.42% year-on-year drop in net profit.
Overall, Cyient is expected to capitalise on market demands for engineering innovation, AI-powered solutions, and smart manufacturing, driving sustainable revenue growth and profitability in the medium to long term.

Next on the list is Oracle Financial Services Software.
Oracle Financial Services Software (OFSS) provides financial software, custom application development, consulting, IT infrastructure management, and outsourced business processing services to the financial services industry.
The company's solutions can be deployed in on-premises & SAAS mode and incorporate new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML), which enable the users to provide a differentiated cloud-ready solution to its customers.
Its solutions are built on a microservices architecture, embedded with AI, and designed for seamless adoption by banks.
The company addresses critical challenges in the financial services industry by delivering embedded financial experiences across banking services, revitalising global trade and supply chains, and modernising finance and risk management.
So far in 2025, up to 12 December, the stock has fallen 39.5% from its 52-week high of Rs 13,203.6, recorded on 30 December 2024, to Rs 7,987.
This decline could be attributed to ongoing promoter selling in the company.
Additionally, in the September 2025 quarter, revenue increased 6.9% year-on-year to Rs 17.8 bn, while net profit fell 5.5% to Rs 5.5 bn, compared with Rs 5.8 bn in the same period last year.
The company aims to broaden and deepen its presence in global markets. Its sales and marketing teams are focused on strengthening international reach and developing new export opportunities.

Last on the list is Tata Elxsi.
Tata Elxsi, established 35 years ago, provides design and technology services across automotive, media, healthcare, and communications sectors.
The company operates several AI platforms, including TEDAX for data intelligence, IRIS for industrial AI, TETHER for connected vehicle services, NEURON for content personalisation, and TECare for digital therapeutics.
The company continues to advance AI and analytics through its AI Centre of Excellence, focusing on autonomous mobility, video analytics, predictive analytics, GenAI, and cloud computing.
With more than a decade of experience in artificial intelligence, Tata Elxsi has strengthened its capabilities further through strategic collaborations.
In July 2025, the company partnered with San Francisco-based KAVIA AI to integrate AI-powered automation across the software development lifecycle for enterprise clients.
KAVIA AI refers to its platform as "software 3.0," a cloud-native system designed to automate the entire development process, from planning to maintenance at enterprise scale.
So far in 2025, up to 12 December, the stock has fallen 32.5% from its 52-week high of Rs 7,448.8, recorded on 12 December 2024, to Rs 5,029.7.
This could be attributed to stake reductions by both FIIs and promoters during the September 2025 quarter. Promoter shareholding edged down in the September 2025 quarter, while FII holding declined from 12.7% to 12.5% over the same period.
In addition, revenue from operations fell to Rs 9.2 bn from Rs 9.6 bn a year earlier. Net profit also declined sharply, dropping 32.5% year-on-year to Rs 1.5 bn.
Moving ahead, the company says that it will continue to invest in differentiated AI-first offerings and services.
For more details, see the TATA ELXSI company fact sheet and quarterly results.
Investing in AI-linked stocks that are down up to 40% from their 52-week highs may appear attractive as the technology continues to reshape industries and fuel a new wave of digital transformation.
India's artificial intelligence ecosystem is expanding at a rapid pace, with the country's US$ 264 bn information technology sector projected to cross US$ 400 bn by 2030, driven by increasing AI adoption across global outsourcing, according to Bessemer Venture Partners.
That said, investors should remain mindful that AI-themed opportunities can be volatile, and stock selection should be backed by a careful assessment of underlying fundamentals and long-term business strength.
Investors should evaluate the company's fundamentals, corporate governance, and valuations of the stock as key factors when conducting due diligence before making investment decisions.
Happy investing.
