ICRIER Finds AI Reshaping India's IT Roles
A new OpenAI-backed study by the Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER) finds AI is reshaping roles rather than causing mass layoffs in India's US$280 billion IT sector. Surveying over 650 firms across ten metros, it reports productivity gains and scaling without proportional hiring, but notes only about 4% of respondents have trained over half their workforce in AI skills.
Scoring Rationale
Strong industry-wide evidence and authoritative sponsorship, but limited training uptake data and regional focus constrain broader generalizability.
