"AI - it will not kill jobs, but will unbundle jobs. AI will end the charade. You and I have to bundle ourselves. If you are not learning AI today, you are not learning anything," said Puneet Chandok, CII, National AI Forum & President, Microsoft India and South Asia. Highlighting India's position in the global AI ecosystem, Chandok said the country is witnessing strong momentum in both talent and policy frameworks. He said this is the era of 'digital colleagues', referring to AI agents, and 59% businesses in India use AI agents.
