How Two Companies are Helping Fill India's Skills Gap

With automation and generative AI reshaping industries faster than ever, half of the global workforce may need reskilling by 2025. In this episode, we delve into the urgent need for learning and development (L&D) programs to help Indian professionals stay ahead in a rapidly changing world. Drawing from eye-opening reports by the World Economic Forum, LinkedIn, and McKinsey, we explore how AI is transforming roles across sectors—while also creating significant skill gaps. Why is healthcare, one of the world’s largest workforce sectors, struggling with digital upskilling? How are organizations rethinking their strategies to embrace AI while bridging critical gaps? And what does India’s role look like in this global race for a future-ready workforce? Join host Anirban Chowdhury as he unpacks the challenges and opportunities shaping the skilling revolution and uncovers how industries are gearing up to meet the demands of a tech-driven tomorrow with Coursera’s India and APAC MD Raghav Gupta & Carelon Global Solutions’ President Rajat Puri.
