Shantanu Roy, founder and CEO of TeamLease Edtech, forecasts that Artificial intelligence adoption will significantly influence salary growth and appraisal frameworks in India over the next 2-3 years. Companies in India are increasingly integrating Artificial intelligence skills into their core capabilities, with 92% of Indian knowledge workers already using Artificial intelligence at work. The demand for Artificial intelligence professionals in India is expected to exceed 1 million by 2026. Sectors such as technology, Global Capability Centres (GCCs), and BFSI are anticipated to see the fastest appraisal shifts, as performance measurement evolves to include the effective use of Artificial intelligence to enhance speed, quality, and decision-making. This trend will lead to more selective hiring for higher-value capabilities, making upskilling and role readiness crucial for employees.
