Manish Sabharwal Counters AI Job Bloodbath Claims

Manish Sabharwal, chairman and co-founder of TeamLease Services, tells Rediff that it is too early to conclude AI will cause widespread job losses, calling predictions of a 'bloodbath' premature and speculative. He says AI will both enhance skills and create new roles, may widen inequality if high-skilled workers pull ahead, and urges policymakers to prioritize education, apprenticeships, deregulation and digital infrastructure to boost India's tech market share.
