Studies Project AI to Add Hundreds of Billions to India’s Economy by 2030-35

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is projected to significantly boost India's economy, with estimates ranging from over USD 500 billion by 2030 to USD 1 trillion by 2035. Studies highlight India's large AI-aware workforce, growing startup ecosystem, and expanding digital infrastructure as key drivers. However, many organizations remain in pilot stages of AI adoption, facing challenges like data readiness, cloud infrastructure, and skills gaps. AI-powered lending models could also unlock substantial credit for MSMEs, supporting financial inclusion and economic growth.
