At its current growth rate of 5.7 per cent, India’s GDP is projected to reach $6.6 trillion by 2035.

The report noted over the next decade, the adoption of AI across sectors is expected to add $17–26 trillion to the global economy. “India’s combination of a large STEM workforce, expanding R&D ecosystem, and growing digital and technology capabilities positions the country to participate in this transformation, with the potential to capture 10-15 per cent of global AI value,” the report noted.
