# Will AI take away jobs in India?



## Answers

### Answer by Vaibhav Kumar

The honest answer is: **AI will change most jobs, replace some tasks, and create new roles**. The balance will depend on how quickly workers and companies adapt.

## Jobs and tasks most exposed:

- Routine **data entry**, basic customer support and call centre scripts
- Simple **content writing**, translation and transcription
- Entry-level **coding and testing** tasks
- Back-office work in banking, insurance and BPO, a big employer in India

## Areas less exposed or likely to grow:

- Jobs needing **physical skill and judgement**: electricians, nurses, plumbers, technicians
- Roles built on **trust and human relationships**: teachers, doctors, counsellors, sales
- **AI-related roles**: data engineering, AI safety and testing, building AI products for Indian languages
- Workers in any field who **know how to use AI tools well**

For India, the IT services and BPO sector, which employs millions, is under particular pressure to retrain staff. At the same time, AI could help farmers, small businesses and government services reach more people.

What you can do: learn to use AI tools in your field, build skills that combine domain knowledge with technology, and keep learning. See skills for an AI career.
