IBM-IndiaAI study

India could unlock more than $500 billion in economic value from artificial intelligence by 2030, according to a new IBM-IndiaAI study that argues AI is moving from experimentation to a central force in the country’s economic transformation. But the report also warns that the opportunity will only be realised if India closes major gaps in data quality, cloud access, sovereign infrastructure and workforce skills.

The study, “From promise to power: How AI is redefining India’s economic future”, paints a picture of both momentum and urgency. Four in five business leaders say AI investment will directly shape India’s GDP growth, while 73 pc believe India will emerge as a leading global AI nation by 2030.
