Salesforce, in its latest State of IT survey, revealed that software development leaders in India are rapidly embracing AI agents, viewing them as critical tools poised to drive the next era of development.

"Agentic AI enables developers to shift from routine tasks such as writing code and debugging to more strategic, high-impact work. And with developers increasingly using agents powered by low-code/no-code tools, development is becoming faster, easier, and more efficient than ever—regardless of developers' coding abilities," the report stated.

The findings indicate a clear shift towards AI-driven development, with strong consensus around the growing importance of AI tools and agents in shaping the future of software engineering.

Software development leaders in India report that 100% of teams already use or plan to use AI for code generation. Moreover, 91% of teams expect to use AI agents within the next two years, and 92% believe these agents will become as essential as traditional development tools.
