India Leads Workplace Automation, Still 77% Employees Want Personal Growth

In reality, India seems to have gone ahead both US and Japan when it comes to AI-based technologies.

Goldsmiths from the University of London has done an academic research, in which, he illustrated that India is the world leader in applying AI (Artificial Intelligence) and RPA (Robotic Process Automation) - based technologies.

As shown in “Augmented Human Enterprise”, a research sponsored by Automation Anywhere, more than two-thirds of respondents confirmed that RPA and AI-based augmentation was used to its maximum capability. It’s the most impressive proportion in the four markets tested, including US, UK, Japan and India.

A quick look at RPAs, they are similar to robots which can function in a factory floor, perform basic assembly tasks, while human workers can control quality and carry out other works. Although people doubted that humans’ jobs might be taken over by automation, the figures in this research proved the opposite.

Corporates should develop their employees

Researches have shown that 66% of Indians respondents said that taking risks make them feel empowered, whereas 77% answered that due to automation, their corporates could now focus on human resource development. Same results, 84% Indian employees said they were engaged to the company, this percentage outweighed other markets.

Mihir Shukla, CEO at Automation Anywhere, has commented on this issue. She compared: Its like our breath. It is important and complicated, but it is automated so our brains have energy to think of every other things we do. For many organizations, they can focus solely on the “breathing” part.

In response to that, a vast majority of employees confirmed that having automation and RPAs had increased the overall productivity of their groups and teams. When workers no longer have to complete the same work again and again, they become more loyal, and then improve their efficiency.
