Indian Entrepreneur@indianentrepreneurBoston Consulting Group has labelled India a "Rising Contender" in artificial intelligence, pointing to its deep talent pool and skilled Indians returning from abroad.
India ranks second from the top of four tiers for AI readiness, trailing seven "Pioneers" such as the US and China. The government's no-cost Yuva AI for ALL course aims to train 10 million citizens.
BCG observes that compute can be procured within months while talent cannot, so how quickly India turns its workforce into deployed AI capacity is still uncertain.
