Generative AI has emerged as a pivotal technology in recent times, moving from the periphery to the centrestage for many organisations. In India, an Ernst & Young 2023 report revealed that 100 per cent of CEOs are either making or planning investments in Gen AI, with 84 per cent reallocating funds from their technology budgets or raising capital. To discuss what this growth means, ET Insights spoke to Piyush Jha, Managing Director APAC, GlobalLogic, where he sheds light on the company’s strategic investment in Gen AI and commitment to workforce development.
Besides talking about how GlobalLogic has consistently invested in talent and technology for over a decade, Jha discussed their current programme which is around building a multi-million-dollar “Platform of Platforms” programme, integrating core platforms like Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud with a suite of accelerators. GlobalLogic has also focused on upskilling its workforce, with 95 per cent receiving basic Gen AI training and 85 per cent achieving a higher level of certification. This investment in training has enabled their workforce to develop production-grade Gen AI applications, positioning GlobalLogic to meet the evolving demands of their clients.
Despite fears of job losses due to automation, Jha believes that the future of work will involve more domain-intensive and product-focussed roles, with mundane tasks being automated. He stressed on the importance of continuous learning and innovation, noting that the nature of jobs will change, but opportunities will remain for those who adapt.
Looking ahead, Jha is optimistic about the growing role of Global Capability Centres (GCCs) in India. With increased trust in the quality of work produced in India, more global companies are investing in Indian GCCs and GlobalLogic's business with GCCs has grown by 90 per cent in the last year. They continue to collaborate on innovative products, continue doing hackathons with customers, invest in new technologies so as to ensure a strong presence in the market.
