PwC India has released a report titled AI Edge for Viksit Bharat at the World Economic Forum in Davos. The report estimates that AI could add USD 550 billion in value to five sectors—agriculture, education, energy, healthcare, and manufacturing—by 2035 (nominal terms), based on PwC’s economic modelling. A central element of the report is PwC’s 3A2I framework, which outlines a system-level approach for scaling AI. It emphasizes building Access (data, infrastructure, skills), strengthening Acceptance (trust, transparency, ethical safeguards), and enabling Assimilation (embedding AI into workflows). The report highlights potential applications of AI across the five sectors, including improving crop productivity and reducing waste, strengthening school governance, reducing power theft, accelerating disease detection, and improving manufacturing quality.
