India has always been at the forefront when it comes to developing software technologies or extending IT support. The country positions itself at advanced stages of adopting AI in businesses and governance (Business Standard, 2023). Moreover, to keep up with the market needs, AI courses have also been introduced at school and university levels to train new graduates with AI skills (Nasscom, 2023). Use of robust AI technologies and cloud services have made India resilient towards crises. Day-to-day transactions, small and medium business have also completely transitioned onto digital platforms for ease. The Indian government strongly supports AI initiatives and funds several startups each year (Inc42, 2023). Although India has made significant progress in terms of digital transformation, little is known about how the country makes this happen. This PDW will throw light on how India has been adopting AI for resilience and agility.
