Why enterprises now need people who can think, decide and lead alongside intelligent systems.

ANI’s conversation  with Sameet Gupte, CEO & Co-Founder, EvoluteIQ, explored how the AI hiring boom is reshaping what enterprises look for in their people. 

Globally, the demand for AI and machine learning roles is rising fast, especially in large organisations building out enterprise AI capabilities. But the discussion is shifting from “How many AI engineers can we hire?” to “Who can actually work effectively in an AI-led enterprise?” 

In this ANI feature, Sameet highlights why the real gap is no longer just the technical skills. Companies now need people who can combine domain expertise, automation fluency, data understanding and decision-making, and who are comfortable working alongside intelligent systems in day-to-day operations. 

He asserts that learning can’t remain a separate, classroom-style activity. It must move inside the work itself; inside workflows, systems and the real decisions employees make every day. As automation takes on more repetitive tasks, roles are being redesigned to emphasise judgement, collaboration, customer problem solving and governance of AI-enabled processes. 

For India, this creates both urgency and opportunity: to evolve from being known primarily for scale in tech talent to building a workforce ready for AI-driven enterprises, where the most valuable professionals are the ones who can think, adapt and lead alongside intelligent systems. 

Explore ANI’s full coverage of these trends and Sameet’s perspective on what comes next for enterprise talent.
