Overview
Transforming Enterprises Towards an AI-Driven Future
Technology has been instrumental in helping businesses navigate through formidable challenges, and its significance will only amplify in India’s digital future, fueled by the rapid adoption of new digital services among citizens. Whether you belong to a digitally proficient workforce or an enterprise seeking to embrace cutting-edge tools and technologies to enhance business competitiveness, your trajectory towards growth hinges on the innovation of AI.
According to Statista, the artificial intelligence (AI) market in India was valued at over $4.1 billion in 2023, with machine learning (ML) accounting for the largest share at $2.7 billion. The market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 29.1% from 2024–2032, with some projections estimating it could reach $17 billion by 2027.
AI holds significant promise for transforming the Government and Public Services (GPS) sector by automating tasks, enhancing policy analysis, and promoting transparency. As per the EY survey, 61% of GPS organizations believe that Generative AI (Gen AI) will enhance the citizen experience, while 67% believe that it will act as a catalyst to drive innovation. By 2026, 60% of governments will close digital gaps by automating and connecting data, processes, and employees and deploy AI-enabled platforms for intelligent operations end-to-end. The EY survey also reveals that 50% of GPS organizations are ready to implement their first Gen AI solution within one year, expecting significant impacts on various government departments and functions, ranging from data-driven decision-making and enhanced citizen engagement to driving overall efficiencies across processes.
Generative AI has truly taken the world by storm, revolutionizing the way we communicate, work, and innovate. Going forward, this technology could help write code, design new drugs, develop products, redesign business processes, and transform supply chains. A 2022 McKinsey survey shows that AI adoption has more than doubled over the past five years, and investment in AI is increasing rapidly.
According to Gartner’s “Predicts 2024” research, by 2026, more than 90% of IT operations management vendors will have embedded Gen AI capabilities in their products and services, up from less than 5% in 2023. An IDC study predicts that AI spending in the Asia-Pacific region is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.9% from 2022, reaching $90.7 billion by 2027. Additionally, 70% of Asia-Pacific organizations cited Gen AI as a significant or dominant factor driving up IT spending. AI-augmented quality management investigation and recommendation systems, along with automated threat intelligence and prevention systems, are expected to significantly impact the market. By 2028, real-time sentiment analytics powered by CX analytics at the edge will drive 33% of customer engagements, delivering 10% growth in customer loyalty and retention for banking firms. The integration of AI/ML into robotic and automation routines within industrial operations is projected to increase by 30%, driving higher efficiencies and a 10% reduction in downtime.
Aligned with recent disruptions from digital transformation, which have fundamentally reshaped the strategies of IT leaders in fortifying businesses and driving growth, India’s ambitious goal to transition into a $5 trillion digital economy, as highlighted by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, underscores the pivotal role of technology in fostering innovation and revolutionizing enterprises.
In 2024, Gartner projects worldwide public cloud end-user spending to surge to $679 billion, driven by the imperative for business innovation fueled by emerging technologies like Gen AI. As organizations increasingly deploy Gen AI services, the scale of infrastructure required leads them to turn to the public cloud. However, effectively leveraging Gen AI necessitates cloud providers addressing non-technical challenges such as cost, sovereignty, and sustainability. Hyperscalers capable of meeting these demands stand to seize a significant revenue opportunity amidst the growing adoption of Gen AI.
With a growing number of companies in the region accelerating their digital transformation customized for India, the upcoming AI Summit presents a pivotal opportunity to convene and explore the synergies between AI technologies. By converging at this summit, participants can gain valuable insights into the evolving landscape of technology and its integration with AI, thereby driving innovation across industries and within businesses. Delve into the latest trends and best practices shaping the dynamic realm of infrastructure, with a dedicated focus on vital topics such as availability, scalability, and monitoring. The summit will provide a comprehensive exploration of how AI can enhance business operations and competitive positioning, equipping attendees with the knowledge and tools needed to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
