OpenAI and venture capital firm Z47 have projected that artificial intelligence could contribute nearly $1 trillion to India’s economy by 2035, highlighting AI’s growing impact on productivity, innovation, and digital transformation.
A report noted that India has emerged as the world’s second-largest AI consumer market after the United States, with more than 100 million weekly ChatGPT users.
The rapid rise in AI adoption reflects increasing digital awareness and growing interest in generative AI technologies.
Despite this momentum, AI adoption across India remains uneven.
The study found that fewer than 10% of Indians currently use AI tools regularly, with most usage concentrated in major metropolitan cities and technology-driven regions.
Experts believe wider AI adoption could transform sectors such as healthcare, education, manufacturing, financial services, and agriculture by improving efficiency, decision-making, and access to digital services.
Expanding AI literacy and infrastructure will be essential for inclusive growth.
The report emphasized that India’s long-term AI success will depend on investments in talent development, digital infrastructure, innovation ecosystems, and responsible AI governance to ensure sustainable economic and societal benefits.
