The fierce competition for top AI talent by global tech giants like Meta demonstrates the escalating importance of artificial intelligence in shaping future industries. For India, a growing hub for tech professionals and innovation in AI, this trend highlights both challenges and opportunities.While India has historically been a key provider of skilled labor to global companies, the availability of such important remunerations abroad might accelerate brain drain among its top-tier developers. Though, it also underscores the demand for nurturing deep AI expertise domestically to attract global investments and retain talent. Encouraging policies aimed at innovation ecosystems may position India as a strong player within this rapidly evolving landscape.
