Beyond Data Scientists: India’s Overlooked AI Engineering Shortfall

Indian firms cite a shortage of AI talent, but focus on data scientists and ML engineers overlooks a growing gap among engineers needed to take AI from labs to production.

Indian companies regularly highlight a shortage of AI talent, concentrating the conversation on data scientists, machine‑learning engineers and platform specialists.

While those roles are essential, the industry acknowledges they represent only a portion of the workforce required to shift AI projects from experimental stages to full‑scale production.
