A recent report highlighted that while AI is rapidly becoming a key part of work in Indian companies, many professionals lack sufficient training to use these tools effectively. Despite high levels of adoption, a significant “enablement gap” exists — employees are often expected to leverage AI, but are not given the support or education to do so well.
This shortfall matters because it undermines both productivity and confidence at work. Without proper training, workers may misuse AI, fail to tap its full potential, or even make mistakes that hurt outcomes. The gap could also widen inequality, as those who self-invest in upskilling pull ahead of those who rely on employer-provided learning.
To tackle this issue, the article recommends that professionals take a proactive learning approach. They should use online platforms, work on real-world AI projects, and seek peer and mentor support to build practical skills. This kind of self-driven upskilling can help navigate the AI revolution even if organizations lag behind.
At the same time, employers have a role to play: they need to prioritize continuous learning, provide structured AI training, and make it part of their long-term digital strategy. Only then can they ensure their workforce is not just using AI, but using it well — safely, creatively, and efficiently.
