Indias AI talent gap widens as demand surges
Indias tech sector faces a severe shortage of AI-skilled talent, with only 1520% of the workforce trained in the field. Companies like HCLTech and Publicis Sapient are shifting hiring strategies, offering premium pay and seeking adaptable talent. With AI job demand growing rapidly, experts warn that without stronger research infrastructure and upskilling, over one million roles may remain unfilled by 2027.
