Score of 1.9 is being compared with women in United States,Canada,and United Kingdom,and that is not small thing ah.
And what makes it more noticeable is jump from last year's score of 1.61 . In one year,this kind of rise shows that AI adoption in India is not just some corporate buzzword anymore. People are actually using tools,learning skills,and women seem to be moving very fast in this area.
As per report,AI skill penetration rate for Indian women is ahead of women in US (1.71),Canada (0.97),and UK (0.90). That gap with Canada and UK especially feels quite big. And honestly,it says something about how quickly tech skills are spreading here,even if ground reality across cities and smaller places may still be uneven.
Few things standing out from report:
- Indian women scored 1.9 in AI skills,up from last year's score of 1.61 .
- India represented 5.2% of AI projects with at least 10 stars in 2025.
- 44% of women use AI daily compared to 40% of men .
But there is another side also. Report says United States had majority of AI projects with at least 10 stars in 2025,while India is slowly increasing its share with 5.2% of such projects . So yes,India is growing,but still not at top in that open-source project kind of space .
And daily usage numbers are also high. Around 41% of Indian employees use AI almost every day. After India,Nigeria and Vietnam also show strong daily AI engagement rates at 39% and 36%,respectively. This means AI is already sitting inside regular workdays for many people,not just tech teams.
Tbh,the gender part is most interesting here. In India,44% of women are using AI daily compared to 40% of men. That flips usual assumption that men are always ahead in tech usage . At least in this data,women are not just catching up,they are ahead .
But then report brings one strange problem . Around 30% of daily AI users said they feel fully engaged,yet they were four times more likely to feel less productive compared to non-users. So people are using AI more,but still feeling productivity drop. That is confusing but also very real,because sometimes tools save time and still make work feel more scattered.
And maybe that is where bigger question starts . If AI is being used almost every day,but many users still feel less productive,then are workplaces actually using it properly,or just adding one more layer of pressure on employees…
