India is emerging as a leading force in artificial intelligence (AI) adoption, driven by strong government initiatives and industry leadership. According to new insights released by Dell Technologies, India is outpacing its peers with 4% of its digital economy attributed to AI adoption. The country's position as the second largest generator of digital data provides high-quality datasets essential for AI model training, enhancing accessibility to AI tools. The US-India TRUST initiative is seen as a strategic opportunity to build cost-efficient data centers and develop talent capabilities to support advanced AI infrastructure. Satellite communication advancements are also helping to improve internet connectivity and bridge digital divides, potentially accelerating AI participation nationwide. Government programs such as the Atal Innovation Mission and AI India Startup Mission, inspired by Startup India, are fostering innovation in AI and deep technology sectors. However, rising adoption of generative AI poses challenges to India's IT labor arbitrage model, potentially pressuring service revenues unless firms shift focus toward intellectual property, product innovation, and higher-value technology services. Experts highlight the importance of understanding access and usage patterns to promote indigenous AI models and create market opportunities, especially at the base of the economic pyramid.
