Discover how AI is revolutionizing HR practices in Indian enterprises, enhancing hiring speed, personalizing employee growth, and ensuring responsible adoption for a future-ready workforce.
India is both blessed and challenged. Blessed with the world’s youngest workforce, yet challenged by expectations that are evolving faster than most organisations can adapt to. With the government’s IndiaAI Mission and organisations accelerating digital adoption, HR leaders are now at the center of this transformation.When I meet with CHROs, across the spectrum of organisations, their questions are almost always the same: How do we hire skilled people at speed? How do we keep our talent engaged when opportunities are everywhere? And, how do we plan for jobs that don’t even exist yet? These are not abstract worries; they are the daily realities of running HR functions in India today.According to the latest NASSCOM–Adoption Index 2.0, approximately 87% of Indian enterprises are already using Artificial Intelligence (AI), with HR as a key focus area. Combine that with a workforce where 65% of the population is under 35, and it’s clear: the conversation around AI in HR isn’t about what’s next, it’s about what’s happening now. For HR leaders, the value of AI isn’t theoretical; it’s tangible and shows up in very practical ways — hiring, talent development, and workforce planning.Hiring with speed, scale, and inclusivity
