India is at the forefront of a workplace transformation driven by artificial intelligence (AI), with professionals rapidly adopting AI tools to enhance productivity and career prospects, according to a report published by edtech unicorn Emeritus.
The report, titled Global Workplace Skills Study 2025, noted that a staggering 96 per cent of Indian professionals use AI and generative AI (Gen AI) at work, far exceeding global averages, while 94 per cent believe mastering AI skills is crucial for career growth and industry diversification.
The report surveyed over 6,000 respondents across 18 countries, aged 21-65, working across sectors including finance, insurance, manufacturing, education, and software and information technology (IT) services, among others. There were 1,700 Indian respondents who took part in the survey.
Despite being early adopters of AI and Gen AI tools, Indians increasingly worry about technology replacing them if they do not upskill themselves.
