A recent BCG (Boston Consulting Group) study revealed that India leads in AI adoption worldwide. While 26% of global organisations leverage AI, 30% of Indian enterprises utilize this technology. The country is rapidly leveraging AI to drive innovation and economic growth.

The key factors leading to this rapid AI adoption are:

• Strong Government Support: The Indian government is actively implementing several AI-focused policies and programs.
• Thriving Startup Environment: A vibrant startup landscape is supporting AI-driven solutions.
• Skilled Workforce: India has a substantial number of AI experts and skilled tech professionals.
• Data-rich Landscape: India’s vast population and digital infrastructure create abundant data.

Saibal Chakraborty, India Leader of BCG’s Technology and Digital Advantage Practice, said, “India’s swift adoption of AI is redefining its competitive edge globally, with 30 per cent of Indian companies having maximised AI’s value potential–surpassing the global average of 26 per cent. With 100 per cent of companies actively experimenting with AI, India stands out for its readiness to harness AI’s potential.”

He also added ‘”As India’s AI leaders go beyond productivity to reshape and invent new business models, India is poised to lead not only in AI adoption but in generating substantial and measurable value”.
