<p>Nearly half of technology professionals in India are getting some level of <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/technology/article/indian-graduates-show-high-aptitude-for-artificial-intelligence-machine-learning-roles-report-23486250" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>Artificial Intelligence</strong></a> (AI) skilling support from their current employers, according to a report on Monday.</p>
<p>The report, based on a survey conducted by job portal Naukri on National Technology Day, highlighted a significant trend in India&rsquo;s tech ecosystem.</p>
<p>The survey, which gathered insights from over 16,000 technology professionals across industries, shows that while self-learning remains a key pathway, a clear shift toward structured upskilling is visible.</p>
<p>The report "signals that AI upskilling has firmly entered the mainstream,</p>
<p>From freshers to experienced professionals, the direction is clear: the Indian workforce is leaning into the AI era".</p>
<p>Among freshers, over half of them reported that either some basics have been covered or full-fledged AI training is underway. Cities like Bengaluru and Gurugram, long known as tech hubs, are seeing this shift firsthand.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Around one-third of professionals (33 per cent) in these cities confirmed that their organisations are actively training them on AI tools, the report said.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Given the nature of work in the IT/Software Services sector, where tech evolution is part of daily operations, professionals in <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/technology/article/india-s-it-sector-hiring-grows-by-16-pc-in-april-tech-talent-in-demand-report-23538840" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>tech roles</strong></a> here are naturally seeing more structured upskilling opportunities compared to their peers in non-IT sectors.</p>
<p>Further, among professionals with 10-15 years of experience, 42 per cent picked GenAI as their top skill focus, rising to 46 per cent among those with over 15 years.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Other core skills like Cloud, DevOps, and Data Engineering also saw steady interest, especially among early-career professionals -- indicating a well-rounded appetite for tech evolution.</p>
<p>The survey also stressed the key concerns of tech professionals.</p>
<p>While 18 per cent cited layoffs as their biggest concern -- a larger group pointed to concerns like lack of upskilling time, outdated technology, and low salary hikes.</p>
<p>One in five professionals (20 per cent) said they don&rsquo;t get enough time to upskill.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Another 17 per cent cited outdated tech stacks as a key hurdle. A whopping 46 per cent of technology professionals noted low salary hikes as one of their key concerns, the report said.</p>
