Millennials dominate India’s C-suite as AI reshapes leadership

India’s corporate leadership is undergoing a generational shift, with Millennials now accounting for more than half of the country’s C-suite, while artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping how top executives make decisions, according to new research by professional networking platform LinkedIn.

The study shows Millennials now comprise 55% of India’s C-suite executives, overtaking older generations as companies increasingly reward adaptability, cross-functional experience and technology-led decision-making over traditional linear career paths. Their representation at the top has risen 14.5% over the past seven years, reflecting changing leadership priorities across corporate India.
