The report highlights India's significant growth in AI adoption, positioning it as a key market for technology and cybersecurity companies. However, it also underscores critical security vulnerabilities, suggesting increased demand for robust AI security solutions and a potential shift in cybersecurity investment priorities.
India has emerged as the second-largest adopter of artificial intelligence globally, trailing only the United States, according to the 'Zscaler ThreatLabz 2026 AI Security Report' by Zscaler. Indian enterprises recorded 82.3 billion AI/ML transactions between June and December 2025, accounting for 46.2% of all AI activity in the Asia-Pacific region. This growth is driven by government digital transformation efforts and investments in AI infrastructure. However, the report also warns of significant security challenges, including the weaponization of 'Agentic AI' and a critical gap in governance, with many organizations lacking inventory of their AI models. Tools like ChatGPT and Grammarly have become concentrated repositories of corporate intelligence, leading to millions of data loss prevention violations. The findings come ahead of the India AI Impact Summit 2026, where leaders from Nvidia, OpenAI, Alphabet Inc., Anthropic, and Qualcomm are expected to attend.
