EY has officially launched its new AI Academy in India. This initiative aims to equip the Indian workforce with critical AI skills through hands-on, structured learning experiences, leveraging over 200 real-world AI use cases.
The launch follows an extensive internal program where EY successfully upskilled more than 44,000 of its own employees in India. Now, this expertise is being extended to external clients across diverse sectors, including telecom, infrastructure, banking, IT/ITeS, and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG).
The AI Academy’s primary goal is to empower enterprises to navigate the rapidly evolving AI landscape and drive tangible business outcomes. According to EY, the training modules are specifically designed to help organizations achieve measurable results such as increasing revenue, lowering operational costs, improving customer experience, and reducing risk.
“As Generative AI continues to reshape the world of work and has the potential to transform 38 million jobs by 2030, the need to invest in people has never been more critical,” stated Anurag Malik, Partner and Leader – People Consulting Services at EY India. “At a time when 97% of enterprises cite the lack of talent as a key barrier, AI Academy offers role-specific training designed to identify and implement AI use cases that deliver real business impact.”
In a pilot phase involving five enterprises, the program demonstrated its effectiveness by leading to the initiation of over 50 AI projects and the development of leadership-driven AI manifestos, showcasing its potential to foster widespread AI adoption.
This initiative is part of EY’s broader commitment to investing in AI and building a future-ready talent ecosystem, including a $1.4 billion global investment in AI over the next five years.Â
EY also continues to engage with college students across India through its nationwide Techathon competition, challenging the next generation of innovators to solve real-world problems using AI and other emerging technologies.
