The story of AI is often told through models, benchmarks, and billion-dollar investments.
Less attention is paid to the people shaping those technologies, leaders making decisions on how AI is built, deployed, governed, and scaled across enterprises.
India's enterprise AI ecosystem is expanding rapidly, driven by organisations embedding AI into products, operations, customer experiences, and core business strategy.
Among the executives leading that transformation are women who head AI research, engineering, data science, product, responsible AI, and enterprise innovation at some of the country's most influential companies.
This list recognises 24 women leading enterprise AI in India, not as representatives of a demographic, but as leaders whose work is shaping the adoption of AI across industries, from financial services and healthcare to manufacturing, retail, telecommunications, and cloud computing.
Note: The list is presented in no particular order.
