Deloitte plans Quantum Center in India
Deloitte views AI as a way to work smarter, not cut jobs, and is investing big in innovation and training (about 9% of its revenue).
With nearly a third of its global team based in India, the company plans to launch a Quantum Center of Excellence here.
Even though many Indian companies worry about data security and costs with AI, Kini believes India can become both an AI factory and a "cyber shield," thanks to its ambitious young workforce.
