Leadership roles in artificial intelligence grew between 40% and 60% in fiscal 2025 compared with the prior year, according to data sourced by ET from staffing firms. Experts expect the demand to stay firm this year and demand has been driven by companies in IT and consulting, global capability centres, financial services and healthcare firms, and startups across fintech, heathtech and ecommerce, which are setting up dedicated AI business units and teams, experts said. It is also coming from deeptech and generative AI-focused startups and from multinationals building AI development centres in India. The roles in demand include chief AI officer, head of AI/ML, vice-president – AI engineering, VP – AI strategy/innovation, VP – machine learning or GenAI, director – applied AI or innovation, director – GenAI applications, director - data science, AI product head and AI solutions architect. A significant jump in hiring in this space was seen in the last two-three quarters, staffing firms said. Accenture, LTIMindtree, IBM, Deloitte and Wipro are among top companies that are hiring for such positions, as per staffing services firm Ciel HR.

And that shift requires seasoned AI leaders who can steer strategy, governance, and innovation in unison.'Chief AI officers are offered ₹1.2-2.5 crore annually, while heads of AI/ML typically earn ₹80 lakh to ₹1.5 crore, as per Quess data. Among others, the salary package for VPs - GenAI/ML ranges from ₹70 lakh to ₹1.2 crore range, while directors - AI innovation typically earn ₹80 lakh to ₹1 growth is projected to continue at 15–20% annually, especially in roles linked to responsible AI frameworks and GenAI innovations, as per with hands-on experience in deploying GenAI, LLMs, or enterprise-scale AI frameworks as well as domain depth are highly sought after, experts talent scarcity, domain-specific expertise, and retention of top leaders remain key challenges for employers, said Aditya Narayan Mishra, managing director and CEO, Ciel HR.'With demand outpacing supply, organisations are paying a premium for younger AI leaders,' he instance, in some cases, Ciel sees the Head-AI role commanding the highest entry-level salary at ₹36 lakh for four years of experience, reflecting the premium companies place on AI capabilities.
