As artificial intelligence reshapes industries and job roles worldwide, India’s education system faces a crucial challenge, ensuring that AI skills translate into innovation, entrepreneurship and job creation.

In an exclusive interaction with ET Education, Anthony Salcito, General Manager – Enterprise at Coursera, says India already has strong momentum through initiatives such as the IndiaAI Mission and YUVAi – Youth for Unnati and Vikas with AI, but the country must now move beyond skilling to applying these capabilities for real-world innovation. With more than three decades of experience at the intersection of education and technology, Salcito also highlights the growing role of micro-credentials, digital learning, and industry-linked curriculum in preparing India’s young workforce for the future economy.
