Forces shaping the future of learning and jobs in 2026
Technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) are revolutionising education, skills and jobs in India. In 2026, an interplay of five forces will shape how Indians learn, and how institutions equip their students, teams and citizens with future skills. At the heart of this transformation lie new possibilities to make skill development inclusive and accessible, at the scale India needs.
Generative AI (GenAI) remains the most in-demand skill, both in the job market and for online learners — India now records three GenAI enrollments every minute, up from one every minute just a year ago.
