India Set to Add 2.3 Million AI Jobs by 2027, Redefining Global Talent Flows
VMPL Las Vegas (Nevada) [US], August 14: At Ai4 2025, North America's largest artificial intelligence (AI) industry event, Sanjay Puri, Founder of RegulatingAI and Chairman of Knowledge Networks Group, delivered a rallying call for inclusive global AI talent development. In his solo keynote, "Democratizing AI Talent: Bridging Policy, Innovation, and Equity," Puri outlined how India's rapid AI transformation, powered by a INR 10,300 crore IndiaAI Mission, 18,693 GPUs, and a 16% share of the global AI talent pool, is positioning the nation to lead Global South in supplying nearly half the world's STEM graduates by 2030, redefining the Global South from "talent consumer" to "talent exporter." AI talent pipelines today remain concentrated in the Global North, shaped by systems that favour English-speaking, resource-rich contexts. However, that landscape is beginning to shift. India has already overtaken the United States as the largest user base for ChatGPT, accounting for 13.5% of global monthly active users in June. It also ranks as the world's third-largest user of DeepSeek, signalling a surge in digital literacy and appetite for AI tools across the Global South. At the recent launch of OpenAI's latest model, GPT-5, CEO Sam Altman underscored this shift, noting that India is now the company's second-largest market after the United States, and could soon take the top spot. In his solo talk at the AI summit, Sanjay Puri said, "By 2030, India and the Global South will not just consume AI talent, but export it at scale. This can only be achieving with the democratization of AI talent and dismantling the invisible walls of the industry, building South-North skill corridors, and closing the rural-urban gap at home. Mutual recognition of credentials and open policy sandboxes can empower coders from localized AI skilling hubs in Tier 2 and 3 Indian cities to launch world-class models on equal footing with Silicon Valley." His keynote came at a moment of global concern over the risks of technological exclusion and the centralization of AI power. While private companies dominate AI development in the West, Sanjay emphasized India's alternative model centres on policy, public sector innovation, and community-scale application. Government-backed initiatives such as the India AI Mission, Anuvadini, AI Kosh, and Bhashini are building a comprehensive ecosystem to foster AI innovation, strengthening regional language capabilities, collecting inclusive datasets, and collaborating with startups to build India-specific AI solutions. "India's AI story isn't about catching up. It is about setting the pace for the world. From frugal-AI health diagnostics that bring life-saving care to remote villages, to AI tutors reaching 300 million students, we are proving that equitable talent pipelines unlock innovations the Global North would not dream of," he added. Sanjay Puri sees India's approach as a model for nations throughout Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia, where AI must grow alongside education, digital access, and local participation. It is not about adapting to existing AI trends, but actively shaping them to serve developmental priorities such as healthcare access, quality education, rural connectivity, and financial inclusion. About Sanjay Puri Sanjay Puri is a globally recognised speaker on AI policy and regulation, Founder of Knowledge Networks Group, and host of the CAIO and Regulating AI podcasts, where he drives conversations on AI's societal impact, ethics, and innovation. An advocate for the creation of a Chief AI Officer (CAIO) role in the C-suite, he advises organizations on using AI responsibly for sustainable growth. Sanjay specializes in thought-provoking discussions on: AI Policy & Regulations: Advancing frameworks to guide ethical AI adoption worldwide, AI Leadership & Strategy: Advocating the CAIO role to unlock AI's full potential in businesses, Driving Ethical AI in the Global South: Addressing challenges and opportunities in underrepresented regions.

inDrive - India's Only Ride-Bargain App Launches Comfort Class Rides in India, Celebrating the Spirit of Freedom this Independence Day
VMPL New Delhi [India], August 14: inDrive, the world's fastest-growing urban mobility platform and India's only ride-bargain app, announces the launch of its Comfort Class rides in Kolkata and Chandigarh. The launch comes just ahead of India's Independence Day, symbolizing the platform's commitment to freedom of choice, fairness, and empowerment for both riders and drivers. Challenging the Status Quo - Celebrating Freedom in Mobility Much like India's fight for independence was rooted in the ideals of liberty and self-determination, inDrive is redefining ride-hailing by giving people the right to decide what's fair. Unlike traditional ride-hailing platforms that dictate fares through algorithms, inDrive empowers people to decide. Passengers propose a fare, drivers can accept, decline, or make a counteroffer, and both sides agree on what is fair. This two-way negotiation model eliminates algorithmic biases and breaks away from the duopoly that has long dominated the industry. By putting power back in the hands of people, inDrive ensures transparency, dignity, and the freedom to choose - values that resonate deeply on the eve of Independence Day. Comfort Class - More Choice, More Comfort With the launch of Comfort Class in Chandigarh, inDrive users now have the option to book rides in premium-condition sedan cars with air conditioning. These rides offer more space and extra legroom, ensuring a higher level of comfort throughout the journey. Passengers can enjoy a better travel experience at a fair price, riding with top-rated drivers (4.8+ ratings). At the same time, drivers in Comfort Class earn a little more per ride, creating a system where both riders and drivers win. By introducing Comfort Class, inDrive reinforces its commitment to fairness, quality, and choice, offering users a better way to travel while rewarding the platform's best drivers. Fair Play, Positive Impact, and Freedom inDrive's "fair play" business model is driven by one principle - mobility should be free from hidden systems and controlled by the people who use it. The company's approach mirrors the core spirit of Independence Day - freedom from imposed rules, and the right to decide your own path. "At inDrive, we believe mobility should be about freedom and fairness, not rigid algorithms or monopolies. Our bargaining model empowers people to set their own fares - a small act of independence in everyday life. The launch of Comfort Class rides in Kolkata and Chandigarh gives passengers a premium travel option, while allowing drivers to earn more. This Independence Day, we're proud to give our users more freedom of choice and a fairer way to travel," said Pratip Mazumder, India Country Manager, inDrive.
