The Launch of Saras AI Institute in India is going to mark a significant milestone as the world's first higher education institution dedicated solely to Artificial Intelligence (AI). This US-based, state-approved degree-granting institution aims to address the growing demand for AI professionals and contribute to the rapidly expanding AI job market.
The AI industry is poised for explosive growth, with the World Economic Forum projecting 97 million new AI-related jobs by 2025 and a $15.7 trillion contribution to the global economy by 2030. The Wall Street Journal reports a global shortage of AI talent, with companies offering substantial compensation packages to attract skilled professionals.
Founded by Anil Singh, a veteran leader with over 25 years of experience in organisational leadership, Saras AI Institute offers fully online degree programs to students worldwide. The institute's mission is to nurture the top 1% of AI leaders globally through its innovative approach to education.
“We are thrilled to bring Saras AI Institute to India, a nation brimming with talented individuals who are passionate about making a difference,” says Anil Singh, Founder and President of Saras AI Institute. “As a student-centric institute, we aim to help students secure well-paying AI jobs and become compassionate and responsible leaders of tomorrow.”
