NSDC CEO highlights AI’s impact at FICCI Global skills Summit
At the 17th FICCI Global Skills Summit 2026, Arunkumar Pillai, CEO, NSDC, highlighted how NSDC–SSC is examining AI’s impact across sectors through a Six-Layer Framework — moving beyond broad assumptions about “AI and jobs” to understand where and how change is actually taking place.
The framework looks at: Incidence — Where does AI land? | Transmission — How does it translate into changes in work? Velocity — How quickly will adoption happen? Demand Test — Is the resulting skill trainable, portable and payable? Position — Where should NSDC–SSC lead or support? Instrument — How should the response be financed and measured?
This approach recognises that AI’s impact will not be uniform across sectors — and that India’s skilling response must be grounded in evidence, demand and the realities of how work is changing.
As AI reshapes work at unprecedented speed, the priority is to build a skilling system that can understand the change, anticipate it and respond at pace.
