AI skills seen as key career boosters by women in tech

Technology

A new 2025 survey from apna.co finds that most women in India's tech scene—especially Gen Z and those from smaller cities—are betting on AI to boost their careers.
Out of 11,300+ women surveyed, 78% believe AI will open up more in-demand roles, and over half are already training in AI or machine learning.

Many face real hurdles

Nearly two-thirds say having solid AI skills matters more than an elite college degree, a view strongest among women outside big metros.
Still, many face real hurdles: limited access to good opportunities (42%), a need for better mentorship (27%), and calls for advanced training (19%).
The drive is there—what's needed now is support to help them level up.
