“Artificial intelligence is not just a tool, it is a catalyst that accelerates human capability when paired with the right data and content.” - Fei-Fei Li, AI pioneer
India’s role in AI development
SAP Labs India reported that more than 80 per cent of its AI agents were now being built in India, reflecting India's rise as a global centre for enterprise AI development. With strong engineering talent and expanding research capabilities, India is shaping the future of intelligent business solutions.
AI adoption across business processes
The growing consolidation within technology sectors, combined with steady investments in engineering and global capability centres, is pushing faster adoption of AI in business process management. SAP Labs India highlights that organisations increasingly rely on AI to enhance decision making and streamline operations as they navigate geopolitical and market uncertainties.
Productivity gains through responsible AI
SAP’s leadership stresses that the impact of AI depends on having the right data sets and a responsible approach. Customers are seeing measurable productivity improvements, with many moving from manual workflows to digitally assisted processes. More than 100 AI agents are now deployed across SAP’s portfolio, a huge jump from earlier.
Is this an AI bubble
The company does not view today’s AI momentum as a bubble. The argument rests on the speed at which real, visible improvements are happening. Unlike past tech booms, organisations are already witnessing transformations in fields such as drug discovery and customer support, driven by reliable and relevant AI.
The path ahead for enterprises
As enterprises strengthen their understanding of their own data, AI models can be trained on well-defined sets to deliver targeted outcomes. SAP Labs India believes this clarity will continue to unlock new efficiencies and help businesses build products that are both powerful and responsible.
Summary
India is emerging as a major builder of enterprise AI agents, driven by talent, data readiness and strong responsible-AI principles. SAP Labs India sees sustained transformation ahead, not a bubble, as businesses report real productivity gains from ai-powered solutions.
Food for thought
Are companies truly prepared to handle the long-term responsibility that comes with deploying enterprise level ai at scale?
AI concept to learn: AI agents
AI agents are software systems that can act autonomously on tasks using data, models and predefined goals. They analyse information, make context driven decisions and perform actions without constant human intervention. They are widely used in automation, enterprise workflows and intelligent digital assistance.
