Why read this Market Insights?

With rapid digitalization, enterprises are creating a high demand for digital skills in areas such as cybersecurity, cloud computing, data science, and AI/ML. About 43% of organizations increased their spending on AI by more than 25% in 2022, leading to a surge in demand for AI-related skills.
