How much productivity can GenAI unlock in India? The AIdea of India 2025

Innovation in Generative AI (GenAI) has progressed at an extraordinary pace, reaffirming its transformative potential across a number of domains. The possibilities are vast and hold the promise of profound changes on the horizon for millions of Indian citizens. Technical breakthroughs have been jaw dropping. We have quickly moved from auto-complete chatbots to reasoning machines capable of spinning out credible, human like ‘Chains of Thought’ (CoT) to find solutions to complex problems.

Today, multi-modal large language models (LLMs) can enable seamless processing of text, audio, image, and video. Emerging trends like Agentic AI are enabling autonomous entities capable of taking actions. The evolution of new hardware platforms and new AI accelerators has ensured the computational power to support increasingly sophisticated models, having even a trillion parameters and groundbreaking efficiency.  Along the way, the cost of intelligence has fallen, driven by the open-source movement and the trend to use purpose specific small language models (SLMs). This is making AI accessible to smaller businesses and very soon it may become possible to use open-source models for a slow as a few thousand rupees a month in India.

How much productivity can GenAI unlock in India?: The AIdea of India” is an in-depth exploration of GenAI’s current state in Indian enterprises, key trends shaping its future.
Every generation believes it stands on the brink of transformation, fueled by the technologies of its time. Today, as we contemplate the AI era, it feels like one of those pivotal moments.
