Indian companies make significant progress in the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), clearly emphasizing long-term investments and open-source tools to stimulate innovation and return on investment (king ). According to a recent IBM study conducted by Morning Consult in collaboration with Lopez Research, 87% of computer decision -makers questioned in India have declared substantial progress in the implementation of their IA 2024 strategies, while 76% confirmed the return to positive investment of AI initiatives.
In addition, 93% of companies plan to further increase AI investments in 2025.
With the acceleration of the adoption of AI, companies focus strategically on the main operational areas. Almost 97%of the organizations questioned plan to increase or maintain investment in AI in 2025. AI is mainly operated in IT operations (83%), software development (56%) and quality management data (55%).
To optimize AI deployments, organizations adopt open source solutions (71%), managed cloud services (70%) and specialized AI talent hiring (66%).
Despite this growth, Indian companies are faced with multiple challenges in the implementation of AI. The absence of AI governance (53%), the IA expertise shortage (51%), technological integration difficulties (51%), obstacles to data management (41%) and the challenge to provide a measurable commercial value (39 percent) remain key obstacles. The study stresses that 48% of Indian companies are based on open source tools for more than half of their AI solutions, a trend that should grow as the size of the company increases.
The adoption of AI is also to reshape the way companies measure success. While 76% of companies said they had obtained a positive return on investment based on AI investments, traditional financial measures are supplemented by other performance indicators.
