India Leads in GenAI Adoption with 1.3 Million Enrollments, but Women Lag at 29.6%
India emerged as a global leader in Generative AI (GenAI) adoption, recording 1.3 million AI enrollments in 2024 — the highest of any country worldwide. However, a new report by Coursera (an online learning platform) 'Closing the Gender Gap in GenAI Skills' playbook revealed that women remain significantly underrepresented in this fast-growing field. While India ranked second globally in GenAI enrollments among women learners, they accounted for just 29.6 per cent of total GenAI enrollments in the country, despite making up 40 per cent of all learners on the platform. Globally, women hold a slightly higher share, at 32 per cent of total GenAI enrollments.
Coursera's Closing the Gender Gap in GenAI Skills playbook explores strategies to bridge this disparity and empower more women to participate in AI's transformative growth. The report highlighted a critical need for targeted interventions to ensure equitable access to AI opportunities, as well as to encourage more women to take leadership roles in the field.
