India's Tech Workforce Embraces AI Faster Than Enterprises Can Govern It

• India's tech workforce is rapidly adopting AI, with nearly half using it daily, far outpacing enterprise maturity and governance.
• Workers leverage AI for coding (68.1%), research (64.5%), and data analysis (52.6%), leading to over 60% reporting a 25-50% productivity increase.
• Enterprises lag due to inconsistent adoption, lack of structured governance, trust issues, security concerns, and high deployment costs for advanced AI.
• Most professionals learn AI independently; only a third receive employer training, despite 75% needing new AI skills within three months.
• AI adoption in India is primarily driven bottom-up by the workforce, rather than top-down by enterprise strategy.
