"The potential economic impact of AI in India is substantial - reports estimate that at least INR 33.8 lakh crore of economic value from AI adoption can be achieved in India in 2030. While these achievements signify a promising beginning, unlocking the full potential of AI hinges on the strategic decisions we make today," says a Google's press release.

The report suggests that to maximize the AI opportunity for India collaborative efforts are needed across government, industry, and civil society.

They need to prioritise three key areas which include investments in infrastructure and innovation, building human capital and an AI-powered workforce and promoting wide adoption and universal accessibility.

AI is already addressing some of the most pressing challenges like revolutionizing farming practices and improving healthcare access. The agriculture sector is getting the benefits of AI through minimizing climate risks, optimizing productivity and sustainability, and providing access to real-time crop pricing information and early warning of potential crop threats. Many AI-powered platforms are empowering farmers to boost crop yields and encourage sustainable practices. India Now Ranks 6th in Share of Generative AI Startups Ecosystems Among Major Economies, Says Nasscom Report.

In the healthcare sector, AI is being used for better diagnosis, bigger access, and personalized care, especially for underserved communities. Google has partnered with ARMMAN to use AI to identify women at risk of dropping out of their health information program, allowing for personalized interventions to improve maternal health outcomes. ARMAAN seeks to address the pervasive systemic problems underlying maternal and child mortality and morbidity in India.
