According to recent NASSCOM data, India is home to more than 400,000 skilled professionals in AI and data science, making it one of the top countries globally in AI talent availability. This growth is fueled by government skilling programs, strong university pipelines, and private upskilling platforms like NASSCOM FutureSkills, Skill India, and IIT AI initiatives.
Many global AI leaders—from Meta to Google—have top Indian-origin researchers in their teams, a testament to the impact of India’s brainpower on international AI progress.
