The report reveals that India is a global leader in GenAI adoption, recording 1.3 million enrollments in 2024.


      - However, despite women constituting 40% of all learners in India, they represent only 29.6% of total GenAI enrollments, positioning India 2nd globally in female GenAI participation.

      - The report emphasizes the urgent need for targeted interventions to ensure equitable access to GenAI opportunities and promote a more inclusive workforce in the rapidly advancing AI sector.
