Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra views Artificial Intelligence as an accelerator, not a threat, predicting it will enhance the value of practical and digital skills. He believes AI will elevate traditionally manual roles and narrow the blue-collar/white-collar divide. Mahindra also anticipates a potential 'brain gain' for India as Western countries tighten visa norms and evolve education policies, suggesting a reversal of the traditional 'brain drain' and an opportunity for India to move into higher-value innovation roles.
