According to a recent report by Foundit Insights Tracker (FIT), AI jobs in India have increased by 42%, reaching a total of 2,53,000 positions.

This growth underscores the increasing importance of artificial intelligence skills in the country’s workforce and the broader economic landscape.

The report highlights that AI job demand has grown significantly, driven by the rapid adoption of AI technologies across various sectors.

The top skills in demand include Python, AI/ML, data science, deep learning, SQL, and software development.

Specialized artificial intelligence frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch are also highly sought after by employers.
