CII Conference on Jobs and Future of Work: Key Highlights

Reposting this powerful update from the CII – Rahul Bajaj Centre of Excellence on Skills. The two-day dialogue on AI, frontier technologies, employability, and global talent mobility reaffirmed how critical it is for India to align industry, academia, and government toward a shared skilling vision. These are exactly the conversations that shape the next decade of India’s workforce. At Deshpande Skilling and Next Bharat Skilling Foundation (RDC – IIT Hyderabad), we are committed to building future-ready talent pipelines for rural and semi-urban youth. Frameworks like Ashoka’s 4 Levels of Impact and our Prototype → Propagate → Proliferate model help us scale solutions that create both depth and system-level change. Grateful to CII for convening this ecosystem. We return with renewed purpose to drive India’s skilling movement forwar #FutureOfWork #SkillIndia #WorkforceDevelopment #DigitalEconomy #Leadership #CII #IndustryAcademia #NextBharatSkilling #DeshpandeSkilling #NextBharatVentures #SystemsChange #ImpactLeadership #EducationToEmployment #SkillsForTheFuture #CollaborateForImpact

Over the past decade, R&D mandates worth more than $𝟮𝟮 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 have shifted from OECD markets to India’s Global Capability Centres (GCCs) — without moving headquarters. This transition reflects a broader structural evolution in India’s GCC landscape. What began as a cost-arbitrage model has matured into a capability-driven ecosystem, where global enterprises now build, design, and scale from India rather than merely execute. Nearly 𝟰𝟱% 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮’𝘀 𝗚𝗖𝗖𝘀 today operate with a defined innovation or product engineering mandate, up from ~28% in 2015. Investments in digital engineering, AI, and data infrastructure have expanded by 𝟮.𝟯𝘅 over the same period. The focus has moved decisively from transactional delivery to 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲-𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗥&𝗗, 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. This transformation has been enabled by three critical factors: ✦ A decade of policy stability and digital public infrastructure, providing operational continuity. ✦ A 6-million-strong technology workforce with growing depth in data, design, and cloud engineering. ✦ Increasing global trust in India’s governance, IP frameworks, and innovation maturity. For policymakers, this shift underscores the need for frameworks that sustain India’s leadership in global engineering mandates. For enterprises, it signals an opportunity to build deeper domain specialization and scale innovation at a lower cost of complexity. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗚𝗖𝗖 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱, hosted by Inductus Group, will convene policymakers, industry leaders, and academia to deliberate on these frameworks and the next phase of capability growth.
