Generative AI is not a distant innovation-it is already reshaping how businesses operate and make decisions. According to McKinsey's Economic Potential of Generative AI report, the technology could add up to $4.4 trillion in annual global productivity gains, transforming sectors such as fnance, retail, healthcare, and manufacturing. Meanwhile, Microsoft's Work Trend Index 2024 shows that 75% of professionals already use AI at work, often without formal training or policies.

About This Program

This program responds to that skill gap. It is designed for business leaders, managers, and professionals who want to understand and apply generative AI strategically within their organizations. Participants will explore how tools like ChatGPT, Notebook LM, Midjourney, DALL-E, and LangChain can be used to redesign workflows, improve customer engagement, and make faster, data-driven decisions. Through hands-on sessions and business case simulations, the program bridges conceptual understanding with practical use-helping participants move from curiosity to confident implementation.
The Indian IT sector is projected to cross $400 billion by 2030, driven by the transformative impact of AI. While AI might temporarily cause downward pressure on pricing due to efficiency gains, a report by Bessemer Venture Partners suggests that the accelerated capabilities of AI will ultimately expand the market, leading to a new wave of outsourcing for higher-value, complex, AI-enabled work.
