GenAI and the IT Boom: How Tech Education is Powering India’s AI Future

 India’s rise as a global tech leader is entering a new phase, driven by the rapid adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative AI (GenAI). With over 420,000 professionals already in AI-related roles and demand growing annually by 15%, the need for advanced tech education has never been more critical.



India is leading the world in AI skills growth, thanks to a surge in upskilling, digital education initiatives, and strong industry-academia partnerships. Government programs like Digital India and the National Skill Development Mission are supporting this wave, while AI-powered learning tools are making education more accessible across languages and regions.


Companies are investing heavily in internal AI training, which universities are starting to replicate—bridging the talent gap and extending opportunities beyond major cities. This has fueled a booming AI startup ecosystem, with over 6,000 startups tackling everything from health tech to smart farming.


India’s approach—fusing inclusive education, continuous learning, and innovation—is building a self-sustaining tech ecosystem. The country’s young workforce, practical training models, and widespread digital learning platforms are setting the stage for global leadership in AI.


To maintain this momentum, India must keep evolving its education systems, scale access, and align with industry needs. If successful, it won’t just be part of the global AI revolution—it will help lead it.

IISc to Empower Tribal Students as Future Semiconductor Leaders

Image
 Bridging the Gap: Empowering Tribal Students in Semiconductor Technology The semiconductor industry, essential for powering modern technologies like smartphones and satellites, remains largely inaccessible to marginalized communities in India. Despite a strong engineering talent pool, representation from Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) in semiconductor fields is minimal, with reserved seats often going unfilled. To address this gap, the Ministry of Tribal Affairs (MoTA) and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, have launched a fully sponsored semiconductor training programme for tribal students from rural areas. Hosted at IISc’s Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE), the initiative aims to equip students with industry-relevant skills and open doors to high-tech careers. A Tiered Learning Approach The programme is divided into three modules: Exposure Module (2–3 weeks): Introductory overview of semiconductor tech. Foundation Module (60 days): ...
