New Delhi | December 22, 2025
India is rapidly emerging as a global leader in artificial intelligence adoption, with new data showing that 92% of the country’s skilled workforce now uses AI tools, far exceeding the global average of 75%, according to the Microsoft and LinkedIn 2024 Work Trend Index.
Beyond workplaces, a significant and quieter transformation is unfolding inside Indian homes, particularly among urban women, who are increasingly turning to AI-powered tools to manage daily domestic responsibilities more efficiently.
👩💻 AI Eases Domestic Burden for Urban Women
For Priyanshi Durbha, a 37-year-old resident of Bengaluru, AI has become an unexpected household assistant. She says using ChatGPT to plan weekly meals, grocery lists, and schedules has helped reduce the mental load of managing family responsibilities.
“It saves time and decision fatigue,” she explained, highlighting how AI tools are helping women balance professional demands with traditional household expectations.
While no official public data currently tracks AI’s role in domestic life, experts say this trend reflects a broader shift where technology is filling gaps left by social norms and limited policy support for household labor equity.
📊 India’s AI Momentum Stands Out Globally
Industry leaders note that India’s rapid digital transformation, large tech-savvy population, and mobile-first ecosystem have fueled widespread AI adoption. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has previously pointed to India as one of the fastest-growing markets embracing AI technologies at scale.
From office productivity and coding to education and household management, AI tools are increasingly woven into everyday life.
⚖️ A Subtle Social Shift
Experts suggest AI’s growing role in homes may also signal a subtle cultural change. By automating planning and cognitive labor, AI is helping redistribute invisible work that has traditionally fallen on women—especially in urban, dual-income households.
However, analysts caution that access remains uneven, and broader policy frameworks are still needed to address gender disparities beyond technological solutions.
🔮 Looking Ahead
As India continues to lead in AI adoption, its impact is expanding beyond economic productivity into social and domestic spheres, reshaping how work, family, and technology intersect in daily life.
The country’s AI story is no longer limited to innovation hubs and boardrooms—it is increasingly being written in kitchens, living rooms, and homes across urban India.
