Meanwhile, a report claims that there is a severe talent crunch for engineers. For every 10 open GenAI roles, employers are only able to find one qualified engineer, according to a report by TeamLease titled ‘Digital Skills and Salary Primer Report for FY2025-26’. The report projects that the AI market is projected to reach $28.8 billion by 2025 at a 45 per cent compound annual growth rate (CAGR), with AI now central to enterprise value creation. With this ‘hyper growth’, the report expects that India’s digital economy will contribute nearly one-fifth of the nation’s GDP.
By 2026, the AI talent gap is expected to reach 53 per cent, forecast the report, adding that while cloud computing is projected to face a 55-60 per cent demand-supply mismatch. The talent crunch could not be worked on without scaled-upskilling initiatives; enterprise ambitions risk being constrained.
