India Leads Global Gen AI Adoption, Boosts Productivity & Decision-Making: EY Survey

• India outperforms the world in Gen AI effectiveness at work, scoring 53 on EY's 'AI Advantage' vs. global average of 34.
• 75% of Indian employees report Gen AI improves decision-making quality; 62% use it regularly.
• High positive impact on productivity (90% employers, 86% employees) and output quality (92% employers, 82% employees).
• Despite high intent, a skills gap persists in AI learning, with most employees spending fewer than 40 hours/year.
• Structured skilling reduces employee attrition intent and saves work hours, emphasizing talent health over technology alone.

Why It Matters: India excels in Gen AI adoption, driving productivity and better decisions, but needs to address the skills gap.
