New Delhi, May 23 (IANS): With generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) emerging as a top-of-mind priority for businesses, over 80 per cent of Indian enterprises are planning to invest in GenAI within the next 1–2 years, a new report said on Thursday.

According to Bain & Company and Meta report, most large companies are planning to invest in delivering end-to-end journeys via GenAI-powered conversational platforms.

Over 60 per cent are planning to boost spending on conversational platforms over the next 3-4 years.

"We are seeing a growing user preference for leveraging conversational platforms for daily tasks, along with increased spending and investment by businesses in GenAI to enhance end-to-end journeys on these platforms," said Arpan Sheth, Partner, Bain & Company.
