The job of seven lakh people working in IT and BPO sector in India is in danger. This threat is increasing due to automatic and artificial intelligence.

It has been stated in the report that the medium and high skill jobs will be increased during this period.

Although it is bad news for India's PM Narendra Modi. The report says that due to automatic and artificial intelligence, the number of low-skilled workers in the domestic IT and BPO sector will decrease from 24 lakh (in 2016) to 17 lakh in 2022.

However, in India, jobs for medium-skilled people can increase from 9 lakh to 10 lakhs. Apart from this, there were 3,20,000 high-skilled jobs in 2016, which will reach 5,10,000 by 2022.

If there is a total loss in jobs in India's IT and BPO sector, then it can be up to 450,000. In 2016, 36.5 lakh people used to work in this sector, whose number could decrease in 2022 to 32 lakh. It has been reported in the report that due to this automatic, jobs in the IT / BPO sector of the whole world will fall by 7.5 percent.
