How are enterprises integrating AI into their operations?

Customers in India have always been keen to adopt new technologies and drive innovation in their organizations. The Kyndryl Readiness Report perfectly sums it up, stating that India's leaders overwhelmingly prioritize technology modernization with 96% considering it as a high priority and 37% already in a leading position. Generative AI (GenAI) remains a dominant trend with the conversation shifting from exploration to enterprise-scale deployment.
