New Delhi (India), September 23: India is investing in technology and software solutions to strengthen its position as the fifth-largest economy and a key market for products and services that will improve consumer experience and enable efficient governance.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one such disruptive technology that is changing the way industries operate. Intelligent machines that enable high-level cognitive processes such as thinking, perceiving, learning, problem-solving, and decision-making are the future and will have a huge impact on how people live and work.

The Indian government is considering the next decade as “India Techade” and has launched the “India AI Mission” to nurture the AI industry and promote skill development. The country already has the highest AI skill penetration and AI talent concentration in the world, surpassing the United States of America and Germany.

The AI market in India is witnessing a solid annual growth of 25-35% and is on track to become an $8 billion market by 2025. India is witnessing rapid integration of AI technologies across sectors such as healthcare, finance, retail, manufacturing, and agriculture. Initiatives such as Digital India, Make in India, and Smart Cities Mission are driving AI R&D and adoption across the country. This has led to a rise in the number of AI startups and has attracted significant investment from domestic and international investors, creating a vibrant ecosystem for innovation.

Against this backdrop, Exhibitions India Group will be organising the first edition of AI Bharat Expo, which will be held concurrently with India’s largest technology exhibition, the 32nd Convergence India & 10th Smart Cities India Expo 2025.
