In a fresh industry insight published by NASSCOM on July 2, 2025, India’s dominance in the global AI race is gaining new momentum—not through machines alone, but through manpower.
Is India’s AI Talent the Driving Force Behind a $17 Billion Market Boom?
According to the post from NASSCOM’s verified LinkedIn profile, India now possesses the second-largest AI talent pool globally, second only to the United States. This growing skill base is expected to supercharge India’s AI economy, with projections indicating a market value of $17 billion by 2027—a threefold increase from current levels.
How Is Public Infrastructure Powering AI Growth in India?
A major factor behind this projected surge is India’s public digital infrastructure, which NASSCOM credits as a key enabler of AI expansion. Initiatives like open government data platforms, AI learning hubs, and policy-level support for startups have made it easier for businesses to adopt AI tools at scale.
This infrastructure has become the foundation on which enterprise AI strategies are being built across sectors including healthcare, fintech, logistics, and manufacturing.
What Role Do Enterprises and Upskilling Play in This Boom?
The post also emphasizes how enterprises are no longer experimenting with AI—they are investing in it. AI is now being embedded into core business processes, and the demand for skilled professionals is rising accordingly.
This shift is supported by upskilling programs and academic partnerships, ensuring that India not only produces AI talent—but keeps it job-ready.
With the right mix of talent, policy, and innovation, India is not just participating in the global AI race—it’s preparing to lead it.
