IN · Published Aug 9, 2026
According to a report by Nomura, the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in India has led to a net positive impact on employment.
While there have been job losses due to automation and AI integration, the report highlights that AI-related hiring has outpaced these losses by over 51,000 jobs.

Impact & Risks

The rise in AI-related hiring is a positive development for India's workforce, as it indicates a shift towards more technologically advanced roles. However, the report also highlights the need for significant investment in skill development to ensure that workers can transition into these new roles. Without adequate training programs, there is a risk of widening the skills gap, leaving a segment of the workforce unemployed or underemployed. Policymakers and businesses must collaborate to address these challenges and ensure inclusive growth.
