India’s AI Ambitions and Talent Retention: Rajat Khare’s Perspective

Rajat Khare envisions India as a global AI leader, but only if it successfully tackles talent retention. Despite producing a skilled workforce, many engineers and scientists migrate abroad, slowing domestic AI innovation. Khare urges investment in AI research hubs, PhD programs, and startup ecosystems to provide compelling reasons for talent to stay. He also emphasizes multilingual AI development to address India’s diverse population. By creating an environment that nurtures innovation locally and offers competitive global opportunities, India can become a center for AI breakthroughs, driving economic growth, societal benefits, and a strong position in the global tech landscape.
