PMI Launches AI Course for India’s Infrastructure Sector

The Project Management Institute (PMI), a global authority in project management, has launched a specialized course, AI in Infrastructure and Construction Projects, in India. This course aims to equip project managers with AI-based skills to address the increasing demands of the country’s rapidly expanding infrastructure sector.

Addressing the Challenges in India's Infrastructure Growth

India’s construction industry is undergoing rapid expansion, driven by government initiatives and economic growth. However, this surge is accompanied by challenges, including a skills gap and slow digital adoption. Industry reports indicate a shortage of skilled labor and a lag in implementing digital tools, affecting project efficiency.
