Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming businesses worldwide, and India is emerging as a major hub of innovative AI startups. These homegrown companies are pioneering the application of AI across diverse sectors and solving some of the most pressing concerns regarding productivity. Workers use a minimum of 11 tools in 2023 as opposed to five in 2019. As organisations continue to adopt new technologies like generative AI, employees struggle to keep up with tool sprawl. In fact, 47% say they struggle to find the data they need to perform tasks efficiently and 36% missed or failed to notice important updates because of the number of applications used and/or the volume of information produced on them.
