India Set to Overtake US in Al & Web3

India is rapidly emerging as a global powerhouse in Al and Web3.

- EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH DILIP CHENOY, CHAIRMAN, BHARAT WEB3 ASSOCIATION

The nation contributes 14% of the world's Web3 workforce, with 1.7 million developers joining GitHub last year. The platform now has the potential to surpass the US as the most extensive developer base.

Initiatives such as the IndiaAl Mission, quantum computing programs, and the Bharat Web3 Association's (BWA) efforts to bridge the skills gap are positioning India as a hub for innovation, talent, and enterprise adoption in next-generation technologies.

In an exclusive one-on-one interview at the Metamorphosis event, Dilip Chenoy, Chairman of the Bharat Web3 Association and former Secretary General of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI), shared his insights on India's evolving role in these transformative sectors.

Drawing from his extensive experience, including his tenure as Managing Director and CEO of the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), Chenoy discussed the government's initiatives to foster innovation, the challenges and opportunities in talent development, and the strategic importance of aligning with global regulatory trends.

What impact do you think forums like Metamorphosis have on shaping India's Web3 and Al ecosystem, and what inspired you to take the stage as a thought leader?

This is not my first Metamorphosis event—I attended last year in Bangalore and have also participated in one of their roadshows in Hyderabad. Events like Metamorphosis are instrumental in catalyzing India's Web3 ecosystem, addressing its growth, adoption, and long-term development. The forum's design aligns seamlessly with the vision of the Bharat Web3 Association (BWA), which I lead, to foster a dynamic, inclusive, and future-ready Web3 community across the country.
