In a candid conversation, Mihir Shukla, the visionary leader behind Automation Anywhere, foresees artificial intelligence reshaping the future of employment, especially in brain-intensive fields. The company’s Chairman emphasized that AI isn’t just automating tasks—it’s redefining what work means across the board.
Shukla drew stark contrasts between historical industrial shifts and today’s AI wave. ‘The Industrial Age took generations to mature,’ he said. ‘AI is hitting every country and industry all at once, with unprecedented velocity.’
This ‘earthquake-like’ disruption promises to alter job natures as profoundly as mechanization did centuries ago, but faster.
Early adopters are already witnessing transformative results. Automation Anywhere’s innovative agentic technologies enable instant improvements in efficiency and smarter decision-making.
India has emerged as a growth powerhouse for the firm. Shukla disclosed a staggering 400% business expansion in just two years, fueled by local AI expertise recruitment and massive project implementations.
Aligning with national ambitions, Automation Anywhere embraces the ‘Made in India for Global Markets’ philosophy—crafting solutions in India for worldwide application.
Yet, Shukla issued a stark warning: rushed AI pilots without strategic blueprints are doomed to fail. Organizations fixate too much on tools rather than desired outcomes.
Winners build ironclad governance and weave AI seamlessly into operations. Consider a leading bank’s triumph: AI automated 200+ processes, including RBI-compliant chatbots for all staff, slashing risks and supercharging productivity.
The company’s agentic process automation excels at full-cycle business automation. Tailored solutions serve IT, finance, healthcare, and banking sectors effectively.
Shukla’s message is clear: knowledge jobs face inevitable AI disruption. Forward-thinking companies must adapt now to thrive in this new era.
