The rise of AI and digital leadership
As businesses integrate AI into their core strategies, IDC Report predicts that by 2027, 40% of IT leaders will transition to business leadership roles and move technology to operational and business models.

AI-driven business models and future outlook

As AI continues to gain traction, Indian companies will need to navigate the challenges associated with skills shortages and data use in order to fully utilize the possibilities of AI-driven innovation. With an emphasis on operational efficiency and revenue growth, AI adoption is poised to reshape India’s digital economy over the next few years.
