Can India Lead the Charge for Global Workforce Change
By: Antra Jain
India, with the world's second-largest AI talent pool, faces a 51% AI skill gap despite rapid adoption. The government's IndiaAI Mission aims to address this through various initiatives. A proposed five-pillar roadmap includes an online AI learning platform, an AI Skill Sector Council, 'Train the Trainer' workshops, and placement camps. This comprehensive strategy aims to develop a workforce adept in AI, positioning India as a global leader in workforce transformation. Consider a busy street in an Indian town where a local shop owner, equipped with Artificial Intelligence (AI) skills, revolutionises their business. Picture this entrepreneur using AI to better understand customer preferences, optimise inventory, and offer personalised services.
