This paper explores how Artificial Intelligence (AI) helps Indian economic growth by focusing on productivity, innovation, and job changes across different regions. It uses a mixed-methods approach, combining data analysis from reports by NITI Aayog, McKinsey, PwC, and Accenture with interviews from 25 industry experts. It looks at how AI affects GDP growth, job creation, and industry competitiveness. The findings show that AI could add up to $1 trillion to Indian GDP by 2035 mainly by improving efficiencies, driving digital changes, and encouraging innovation in key sectors like manufacturing, healthcare, and farming. However, challenges include a lack of skilled workers, ethical concerns, and uneven use of AI. The recommendations include government support for AI education, building national AI infrastructure, and creating regulations to ensure balanced and sustainable growth.
