A recent ICRIER study, backed by OpenAI and based on a survey of over 650 firms, finds generative AI is moderating entry-level hiring, increasing demand for skilled mid-level workers, and providing stability at senior levels in India’s IT sector. It reports highest demand for statisticians, application developers and database administrators, widespread exposure of data-entry and manual-testing tasks, and warns firms are underinvesting in LLM operations hiring, R&D expansion and workforce upskilling.
Key Points
- 1Documents moderation of entry-level roles, rising mid-level demand, and senior-level stability across 650-plus surveyed firms
- 2Shows technical roles like developers and DB admins grow, indicating AI complements productivity, not substitutes
- 3Warns insufficient hiring for LLM operations, R&D and upskilling, risking skill shortages and regulatory gaps
Scoring Rationale
Strong industry-wide survey evidence supports adoption trends, but single-study scope and limited training detail constrain generalizability.
