The AI Ground Report 2026: India’s definitive study of AI in HR
AI has been a major focus for organizations across the world over the past couple of years. But where do Indian organizations stand today? We surveyed 500+ leading organisations to get to the truth. We understand where AI adoption in HR actually stands, what is driving outcomes, and what is getting in the way. The findings cut through the noise, challenging some of the most common assumptions about what makes AI work in HR.
What the report covers
- Why 74% of HR leaders name AI as their #1 priority, and why fewer than half are satisfied with the outcomes
- The layered barriers that organisations do not anticipate until they are deep into implementation
- The four conditions that consistently separate organisations seeing results from those that are stalling
- How confidence, stack readiness and challenge profiles shift at every stage of the AI adoption journey
- Where India’s industries actually sit on the adoption curve, and what each group needs to focus on next
