India is on the verge of becoming a global AI talent hub, yet a significant skill gap threatens this potential. A study by Bain & Company indicates that the country could experience a shortfall of over one million skilled AI professionals by 2027. The report emphasizes the urgent need for reskilling and upskilling the workforce to meet the increasing demand for AI expertise.
The AI sector in India is projected to exceed 2.3 million job openings by 2027, while the talent pool is expected to grow to only around 1.2 million. This discrepancy presents a unique opportunity to reskill over a million workers, especially as AI-related job postings have surged by 21% annually since 2019. Addressing this talent shortage requires a shift in hiring practices and a focus on continuous upskilling initiatives.
