Nifty IT index stocks: Relative outperformance candidates for a volatile market?

Nifty IT index is probably among very few sectoral indices which are still below the high they had touched in October 2021. Yes, the sector has some headwinds which not many had thought would appear two years back. But the bigger question is whether this phase of underperformance is about to get over or not. It might be too early to say as short term performance could be many reasons, but the way stocks have reacted to bad news and see sharp upward movement with slightly positive news, it might be worth bringing them back on watch list and shed the bias of looking at all IT stocks with a coloured lens.
