More than Half of the Indian Retail to Operate on AI by 2020 Reveals PeopleStrong Study
New Delhi: A recent study of PeopleStrong reveals that more than half of the Indian Retail companies will be operating on AI (artificial intelligence) by 2020. The report clearly mentions that more than 53 per cent of CHRO’s representing over 500 plus retail enterprises in India will be operating on AI by 2020.
With digital disruptions becoming the norm of the day, the future of Indian retail has received strong headwinds for a transformed landscape led by huge investments & technological advancements. These disruptions are new normal applications of emerging technologies like Blockchain, Chatbots, AI (Artificial Intelligence) and Machine Learning, and are increasingly becoming strategic to Talent & People management functions for the retail sector.
One of the major reasons, as observed by around 59 per cent of the respondent CHRO’s, is the absence of seamless flow of data between different HR functions as the information lies in Silos and different platforms making it difficult to have a unified view of this data for better insights
With this being said as the survey highlights, Indian organizations are expected to bridge this gap by 2020. Both Indian & global HR Tech companies have already initiated this journey of revolutionizing the way Indian Retail enterprises manage People & Talent function.
Leading the way, PeopleStrong is transforming & advocating growing use of Digital aids and has seen major benefits delivered by these transformations in some of the largest enterprises in Indian Retail sector.
An indication of this development is the fact that 59.18 per cent of these companies have started storing their HR Data on cloud, with the majority of them replacing legacy systems in the recent past. Presently, only 24.49 per cent spend more than 10 USD per employee and another 45 per cent of these organizations’ report 5-10 USD spends which is bound to increase soon as their legacy systems move to cloud-based transformative technology.
Analyzing the research findings, Prakash Rao, Founding Member and VP, HCM, PeopleStrong said, “There is a tremendous potential for this number to see a hike in the coming months. We are already seeing the change in the mindset of CHROs for adopting new age HR Technology solutions shifting away from Traditional ERPs”
“According to the India Retail Report released last September, India has replaced China as the top retail destination. This has led to an increased global participation, with Indian retail space witnessing a number of big ticket deals. We have also experienced a lot of inbound requests in the HR tech space especially for AI and ML enabled solutions. In such a competitive scenario, it becomes important for these enterprises to augment their People and Talent Management competencies by integrating technologies like AI (Artificial Intelligence) in their everyday work. The motive behind conducting this research was to understand HR tech adoption by Indian retail enterprises and map the expected way forward.” Prakash added.
