AI jobs in India are set to expand as the country rapidly builds data-centre infrastructure to support its growing artificial intelligence ecosystem. India’s data-centre capacity could rise from around 1.5 GW to nearly 6.5 GW by 2030, potentially generating nearly one lakh engineering jobs, according to figures cited in the report. These opportunities are expected to extend beyond traditional data-centre operations, covering AI systems, cooling technologies, smart grids, renewable-energy integration and advanced digital infrastructure. Google’s planned $15-billion AI data-centre project in Visakhapatnam also highlights the scale of investment, with the project expected to create thousands of direct and wider jobs. The expansion could increase demand for engineers, AI specialists, infrastructure professionals and other technology-skilled workers. For students and graduates, the growth highlights the importance of developing AI, engineering, cloud computing and digital infrastructure skills.
