India's IT and Product Professionals Adapt to Growing AI Skill and Leadership Demands

India's IT and product management professionals face evolving demands as AI shifts from experimentation to enterprise use. Technical skills alone are insufficient; mid- and senior-level roles require strategic understanding of AI's business impact and leadership capabilities. Despite high confidence in AI readiness, a significant gap exists between current skills and practical AI application. To bridge this, structured educational programs like Scaler's 12-month online PGP in Business AI aim to equip professionals with combined business and AI expertise for future leadership roles.
