At the eChai Ventures AI Day with GUSEC, one of the panellists, Chirag Patel, Chief Strategy Officer of Rysun Labs, emphasized the critical importance of embracing AI. He remarked, "In the future, there will only be two types of companies: those that embrace and adopt AI, and those that are shut down."
This resonates with the recent survey titled "Labour force perception about AI: A study on Indian white collar workers" done by Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad faculties & industry experts. It was released last day.
The survey reveals fascinating insights into AI adoption in India across industries like education, IT, manufacturing, and healthcare. โขโ โ ๐จ๐ข% ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฆ๐น๐ฆ๐ค๐ถ๐ต๐ช๐ท๐ฆ๐ด ๐ง๐ฆ๐ข๐ณ ๐๐ ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ข๐ค๐ฆ ๐ซ๐ฐ๐ฃ๐ด ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ช๐ณ ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ณ๐บ, ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ต ๐ง๐ฅ% ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ช๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ ๐ช๐ต ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ค๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ต๐ฆ ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ธ ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ต๐ถ๐ฏ๐ช๐ต๐ช๐ฆ๐ด. โขโ โ ๐ฉ๐ข% ๐ด๐ข๐บ ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ด๐ฌ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ช๐ฏ ๐๐ ๐ช๐ด ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ค๐ฆ๐ด๐ด๐ข๐ณ๐บ ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ค๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐จ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ต๐ฉ, ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐จ๐จ% ๐ธ๐ข๐ฏ๐ต ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข๐ณ๐ฏ ๐๐ ๐ด๐ฌ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ๐ด. โขโ โ ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ ๐ด๐ฆ๐ค๐ต๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ช๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ข๐บ, ๐ธ๐ช๐ต๐ฉ ๐ฅ๐ค% ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ ๐ซ๐ฐ๐ฃ๐ด, ๐ง๐ฐ๐ญ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ฃ๐บ ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ด๐ถ๐ญ๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐จ, ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ๐ถ๐ง๐ข๐ค๐ต๐ถ๐ณ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ, ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ช๐ข.
With AI making inroads across sectors, Indiaโs AI market is expected to grow from $4.2 billion in 2023 to $8.3 billion by 2025. While AI adoption is rapid, caution is advised as the workforce gears up to upskill and adapt.
Itโs clearโAI is transforming industries and creating both challenges and opportunities. Continuous learning and upskilling will be crucial to harnessing the potential of this AI-driven future.
Professionally, I have been using AI tools and it has enhanced my productivity and also helped in do mundane jobs while giving me extra time for creativity and complex problem-solving.
However, there can't be any replacement for Human Intelligence or maybe it is wishful thinking. Only AI can tell ๐.
Would love to hear your opinion & insights on this.
The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."

"If thereโs one phrase that sums up my journey, itโs truly โThe eChai Effect.โ Six years ago, I simply walked into my first eChai event, not knowing what to expect. The honest conversations, energy, and inspiration from founders and entrepreneurs struck a chord within me. That eChai spark became the catalyst for everything to follow. I proudly say: my entrepreneurship journey startedโand keeps evolvingโbecause of eChai. Redicine Medsolโs story is integrally linked to this community. Iโve gained so much, not just as a founder but as a forever volunteer and grateful member of the eChai family. With all my heart, thank you Jatin Bhai and everyone at eChai for shaping, guiding, and supporting my dreams. The eChai Effect will always be a part of my story."

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didnโt only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."
