New Delhi:Veteran banker K V Kamath on Thursday underscored the urgent need for large-scale reskilling and sweeping education reforms, warning that India must act fast to fully harness the transformative potential of AI, which he described as the defining theme of the next decade.

Speaking at an industry interaction, Kamath said India should prioritise practical, high-impact AI applications over investing heavily in building foundational large language models (LLMs). “Building an LLM is not the end goal… the real value lies in where it can be applied,” he noted.
