How to make Indian talent #AI ready

#AI will change the way people work, but it will not take away jobs completely. This is what Puneet Chandok, President of Microsoft India and South Asia, said while speaking at the India explained that AI will mostly change how work is done, not replace workers entirely.

He said “AI will not kill jobs. AI will unbundle jobs… Your job is a bundle of tasks. What AI will do is it will unbundle it,”

Puneet Chandok said that most jobs are made up of many small tasks. AI can handle some of these tasks, especially the repetitive ones. But work that needs human thinking, creativity, emotions, and judgement will still need people.

In simple words, AI will not “remove” jobs. Instead, it will change them. Some parts of a job may become automated, while new responsibilities may be added. Because of this, learning new skills will become very important.

“We have potentially, for the 1st time in humankind, the ability to manufacture intelligence,” he said.“Intelligence is the most valuable commodity on the planet.” He said that it has been roughly 3 yrs since the “ChatGPT moment,” yet progress in model capability has been rapid.

“The models that you’re seeing today, the capabilities that you’re seeing today, are unlike anything we’ve seen even a few months ago,” he said.

India is in a good position to benefit from AI. Many Indian professionals are already using AI tools at work. A large number of companies are also exploring AI systems to improve productivity and efficiency.

India’s strong digital systems, like Aadhaar and UPI, show how quickly the country can adopt new technology. With government support and private investment, AI could become a major growth driver for India.

AI as more than just a tool. In the future, AI systems could act like digital assistants or teammates. They may be able to understand tasks, make decisions, and complete work with minimal supervision. However humans will still be in control

Engineers and others interested in AI must keep learning. Those who understand and use AI will grow in their careers. Those who ignore it may struggle in the future.

#India is ready for #AI revolution and is going to the Worlds largest talent pool ready and raring to go.

What about your company ? As a CHRO / Head HR how are you making your engineers ready to adapt AI tools like #Cursor #ClaudeCode to increase productivity dramatically.

Top 10 HR issues CHRO focusing in January 2026

 Based on major reports from Gartner, SHRM, AIHR, and industry experts.

1. Define & Execute a Clear HR-specific AI Strategy → Create an AI roadmap specifically for HR (not just “use ChatGPT more”) → Focus on high-impact areas: recruitment screening, employee support chatbots, skills mapping, performance insights, personalized learning → Evolve the HR operating model — this is predicted to give the biggest productivity lift (~29%) → Audit current AI usage for bias, fairness, and explainability
2. Shape the Human + Machine Workforce (Now-Next Talent Strategy) → Map which roles/tasks will be augmented, automated, or eliminated in the next 12–36 months → Build massive reskilling & upskilling programs (especially AI fluency + human-centric skills: creativity, judgment, empathy) → Design new job architecture for hybrid human–AI–gig teams → Redesign workflows to reduce human effort/friction (not just save time)
3. Mobilize Leaders to Routinize Change → Shift leadership development from “inspire change” → “make change normal/routine” → Train managers in change leadership, coaching in the AI era, psychological safety, and handling constant uncertainty → Equip leaders to manage change fatigue and prevent burnout
4. Address Culture Atrophy & Rebuild Trust/Performance Link → Be brutally honest about the real Employee Value Proposition (what the company actually expects/requires in 2026) → Close the gap between stated culture and daily reality (very common cause of “regrettable retention”)

Tier 2 – High-Impact Operational & People Priorities

These usually sit right behind the strategic four above.

5. Accelerate Skills-First / Skills-Based Talent Practices → Move away from degree/job-title obsession toward real skills inventories → Implement AI-powered skills ontology + internal talent marketplace
6. Strengthen Employee Wellbeing & Burnout Prevention → Run regular pulse checks specifically on change fatigue/stress → Modernize total rewards (tailored benefits, mental health resources, sustainable workload design)
7. Modernize Leadership & Manager Capabilities → Focus on coaching, AI literacy, empathy + tough performance conversations → Shift manager role: less admin/evaluation → more change leadership & people development
8. Strengthen Data, Measurement & ROI Mindset for HR Initiatives → Define clear success metrics for every major HR project (especially AI ones) → Build stronger HR analytics capability

Quick Tactical / Compliance Reminders for Early 2026(These vary by country/region, but frequently mentioned)

• Audit & update for new pay transparency laws
• Review DEI programs for legal defensibility & real business impact
• Strengthen data privacy/security practices (especially with more AI in HR)
• Refresh flexible/hybrid work policies for fairness & productivity

Bottom-line 2026 mantra for most HR leaders right now:

"AI is the biggest wave, but humans who can work with AI + constant change are still the ultimate competitive advantage."

If your organization is still mostly in "AI experiment mode" → 2026 is the year most serious players move to "AI responsibility & measurable value" mode.

Which of these areas feels most urgent (or most under-resourced) in your current organization? I can go much deeper on any specific point!

Gurudakshina - Gratitude

The concept of gurudakshina is very ancient and it is unique to the Indian culture and tradition. If you are absolutely naïve about India, then it’s advisable that you first try to understand the meaning of a guru and the significance of his presence in the lives of those around him. This, in turn, will help you to understand what guru dakshina is. In very simple words, a guru can be described as a teacher, though, as per the Hindu dharma, the role of a guru in the life of his students is much more than just teaching.

In modern times, the role of a teacher has just got limited to imparting knowledge of various subjects like Mathematics, Science, English, etc, to pupils. However, in ancient India, a teacher or a guru was a spiritually evolved guide. Along with the knowledge of various subjects, he also taught his students how to live a disciplined and principled life.

A guru was the spiritual guiding force in the life of his students. In fact, as per the ancient Hindu tradition, one had to live life in four stages known as ashrams.

Considering that a man can live for a 100 years, each stage was divided into a span of 25 years. The first stage or ashram was Brahmacharya, spanning the first 25 years of a person’s life. During this time, a man lived in the house of his guru. The next stage was Grihastha, which was to be lived as a married man and householder. 

This was followed by Vanaprastha, which comprised of performing penance in a forest. The final one was Sanyasa, in which a man lived as an ascetic. It’s the life of Brahmacharya that is most closely connected with the concept of gurudakshina.

In ancient times, a student lived the first 25 years in the house of his guru, which was called gurukul. A beautiful thing about gurukul was that all students resided together as equals irrespective of their social standing. The students learnt from the guru and also helped him in his day-to-day life like his own children. It was at the conclusion of this formal education that one was required to repay his guru through a dakshina.

The Indian tradition of guru dakshina was meant to serve as a way of showing respect and thanks to the guru. The repayment was not always monetary. At times, a teacher used to simply ask his student to execute an important task. 

However, the guru often received a valuable gift or donations from the pupil and his family as his gurudakshina. Though the life style of Indians has changed majorly down the years, yet the reverence and respect we pay to our teachers is still as it was a hundred years ago.

2024

The MD & CEO of IDFC First bank is V.Vaidyanathan. Born in Chennai, he studied at Birla Institute of Technology (Mesra). 

The story goes that when he got the admission into BITS, he did not have the money to travel there to appear for the interview and complete the counselling formalities. Mr. Gurdial Saini, his then maths teacher lent him Rs.500 to travel for the interview. Vaidya studied at BITS, Mesra and did well in his professional life. 

Vaidya searched for him to repay but Mr.Saini had moved jobs. Many years later, with the help of a former colleague, he got to know that Mr.Saini is in Agra, called him up, expressed his gratitude for the timely help. 

Last week, IDFC FIRST Bank made a regulatory filing to the stock exchanges. The notice reads: 

"Pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI Listing Regulations read with Regulation 7(2) and 6(2) of the SEBI Insider Trading Regulations, we wish to inform you that Mr. V. Vaidyanathan has transferred 1,00,000 fully paid-up equity shares of IDFC FIRST Bank Limited held by him in his personal capacity to his former school teacher, Mr. Gurdial Saroop Saini, as a gift, without any consideration as a token of gratitude for his teacher's help to him at an earlier stage in his life".

It is indeed a heart touching gesture which must be appreciated and practiced by all HR professionals.
