India, a global IT powerhouse with $250 billion in technology trade and 5 million professionals, stands at a critical inflection point in the GenAI revolution. While India dominates global outsourcing, a 51% skilled talent gap across next-gen skills like LLM fine-tuning, cloud computing, and cybersecurity threatens its leadership in the next wave of AI-driven innovation.
Despite 83% of developers acknowledging GenAI’s productivity benefits, adoption remains stagnant at 39%, with GenZ adoption surprisingly lower at 31%. Key roadblocks include ineffective mass training, lack of scientific tracking, client skepticism, and integration challenges. Without addressing these challenges, India risks falling behind global AI leaders like the U.S. and China, while emerging AI middle powers—South Korea, Japan, and Saudi Arabia—gain ground.
