According to a survey, up to 16.2 million workers in India need to receive new and updated training in automation and artificial intelligence to make up for their lack of experience.
A study done by Pearson on behalf of ServiceNow claims that artificial intelligence (AI) will change the nature of work, improve digital skill sets, and generate millions of new tech jobs.
“AI and automation will require 16.2 million workers in India to reskill and upskill while also creating 4.7 million new tech jobs,” according to the report.
The digital skill ecosystem in India is also expected to expand in lockstep. According to ServiceNow’s research, in order to close the tech gap, an extra 75,000 application developers, 70,000 data analysts, 65,000 platform owners, 65,000 product owners, and 55,000 implementation engineers will be required by 2027.
Vice President & Managing Director of ServiceNow Indian Sub-Continent Kamolika Gupta Peres stated, “We’re working with every industry across the country to showcase best practice use of AI to drive meaningful business change and ensure these changes bring about meaningful, quality, and secure careers for people while also enhancing productivity.”
According to a research by ServiceNow, the manufacturing sector will experience the most disruption, with 23% of workers slated for automation and skill enhancement. This is followed by the agriculture, forestry, and fishing sector (22%), wholesale and retail trade (11.6%), transportation and storage (8%), and construction (7.8%).
Through a number of state and federal initiatives, ServiceNow is making an investment in India’s talent development in order to provide fair pathways to digital careers. Over the course of the previous year, the corporation has announced over 13 academic ties with Indian organizations.
To create a workforce prepared for the future and meet pressing business demands, ServiceNow and FutureSkills Prime, a MeitY NASSCOM digital skilling program, launched their cooperation in August.
One of the top providers of digital workflows is ServiceNow. Repeatable tasks are managed and automated by digital workflows.
