The agentic AI field is moving from experimental prototypes to production-ready autonomous systems. Industry analysts project the market will surge from $7.8 billion today to over $52 billion by 2030, while Gartner– a global research and advisory firm–predicts that 40% of enterprise applications will embed AI agents by the end of 2026, up from less than 5% in 2025.
2026 is likely to be an inflection point where early architectural decisions will determine which organizations successfully scale agentic systems and which get stuck in a perpetual pilot purgatory.
Single all-purpose agents are being replaced by orchestrated teams of specialized agents. Gartner reported a staggering 1,445% surge in multi-agent system inquiries from Q1 2024 to Q2 2025, signaling a shift in how systems are designed. NEWS9’s Kartik Malhotra takes a deep dive into this emerging scenario in a discussion with Rituparna Chakraborty, Partner at Regional Lead, India, True Search.
