Recently, a Deloitte report revealed that India is emerging as a global leader in Agentic AI adoption, with over 80 per cent of businesses actively exploring the development of autonomous agents.

Autonomous agents are AI systems that can act independently to achieve specific goals without constant human guidance.

The increasing interest reflects a significant shift in how Indian organizations are leveraging AI for innovation and efficiency.

The findings are part of Deloitte's State of GenAI (Fourth Wave) report, which provides an India-specific perspective on the adoption of Generative AI (GenAI) and Agentic AI.

"Over 80 per cent of Indian organisations are actively exploring the development of autonomous agents, indicating a substantial shift towards Agentic AI," the report stated.

The Deloitte survey covered 2,773 C-suite leaders across 14 countries. Meanwhile, around 70 per cent of firms expressed a strong desire to use GenAI for automation, and more than half of the organizations are conducting more than ten GenAI experiments.
