India is expected to undergo a significant technological transformation in 2025, fueled by advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI (GenAI), according to a report released by Capgemini Research Institute on Thursday.
The report highlights a rapid adoption of AI technologies across key domains such as automation, cybersecurity, robotics, and supply chain management within Indian organizations. Nearly 80% of surveyed Indian organizations are planning to initiate proof-of-concepts (PoCs) or fully adopt AI agents by 2025. Additionally, 36% plan to partially implement AI agents in specific areas.
The enthusiasm for AI is mirrored by Indian venture capitalists (VCs) and business leaders, with 85% of VCs and 70% of executives believing AI agents will play a transformative role in the AI and data domain by 2025.
Generative AI is anticipated to make significant strides in cybersecurity, with approximately 63% of Indian organizations expecting GenAI to enable faster threat detection. The retail and telecom sectors are particularly optimistic, with 92% and 91% of executives, respectively, ranking GenAI among the top three cybersecurity trends for 2025. Over 70% of Indian companies are expected to integrate AI and GenAI into their cybersecurity strategies in the coming year.
The adoption of AI-powered robots is another key trend identified in the report. More than 50% of organizations in India are projected to deploy AI-powered robots by 2025, with 45% planning to implement these technologies in specific parts of their operations. This surge in robotic automation is expected to revolutionize industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare.
India is also making significant progress in modernizing its supply chains through AI-driven innovations. Over 75% of Indian organizations are currently in the PoC stage for adopting next-generation supply chains, though many are starting with limited use cases. Globally, the energy and retail sectors are leading the charge, with 80% and 78% of executives, respectively, ranking new-generation supply chains as a top tech trend.
This technological shift promises to reshape India’s industrial landscape, positioning the country as a leader in AI and GenAI advancements.
