Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal envisions India as a global powerhouse for artificial intelligence (AI)-related jobs, capitalizing on its substantial pool of IT professionals. He asserts that AI presents an unparalleled opportunity to enhance economic productivity worldwide by automating routine tasks. Aggarwal believes India’s IT workforce, already contributing to global clients, can achieve tenfold productivity through AI, leading to a significant influx of jobs within the country. He acknowledges that while AI’s impact on the job market is complex, it will inevitably create new roles while displacing others.
