Analytics India Magazine brings to you its annual list of the 50 Most Influential AI Leaders In India for the year 2021. Selected on the basis of the expertise they hold in the field of AI and Data Science, the list recognises the exceptional work these professionals have accomplished over the last year.
AI has seen increasing importance in Indian organisations, public and private, over the last decade. The government has also shown intent to leverage AI for the country’s development through various initiatives. To drive AI growth successfully, we need leaders who are well-versed with the dynamic nature of the industry. Given the pace at which AI is moving, we need top management that can come up with innovative strategies while overcoming multiple challenges.
Leaders in this list have shown great ability to lead their teams to develop state-of-the-art AI solutions and support their companies or clients. Despite the pandemic, they have shown the potential in adapting to different circumstances to drive innovation and growth.
The final record is the work of over two months as AIM invited nominations from various leading organisations in India. The selection is done by a panel that includes members internal and external to AIM. The list is finalised primarily based on the criteria of the leader’s impact on the AI ecosystem in India.
Until last year, AIM published lists for the top 10 leaders. You can access them at the links below:
