Navigating the AI Job Market: A Survival Guide for the Age of Generative AI: For Indian AI and Data Science Professional, (Hardcover)

<p>The AI job market in India in 2026 is expanding and brutal simultaneously. This book explains why and what to do about it.Job postings have doubled. Hiring has not kept pace. Experienced professionals are being displaced by the same tools they are being asked to master. The official narrative is several years behind what is actually happening.</p><p>Navigating the AI Job Market is a field guide for data scientists, ML engineers, and AI professionals in the Indian technology sector: GCC ecosystem, the IT services firms, the product startups, and the research centres that the global career literature almost never addresses honestly.It introduces the Loop model of AI careers: four phases: Tool User, Builder, Translator, Shaper, each requiring different skills, different strategies, and a different relationship with the work. It maps the 2026 skills hierarchy across GenAI, LLMOps, agentic systems, and RAG pipelines. It analyses India's GCC sector with more rigour than any previous career guide. It tells the truth about how technology exits actually work in India - PIPs, managed exits, AI-washed layoffs and how to distinguish structural displacement from personal failure.And it addresses what most career books avoid entirely: the psychological reality of working in a field that never lets you rest.</p><p>Navigating the AI Job Market does not promise that everything will be fine. It offers something more useful: an honest map of the territory, written by someone crossing the same ground.</p>
