India is currently experiencing a critical shortage of Agentic AI professionals, driven by the surge in demand for advanced AI agents capable of autonomous decision-making. 

What is Agentic AI? 

Agentic AI refers to AI systems that can autonomously make decisions, take actions and adapt to changing environments. These systems ingest vast amounts of data from various sources, allowing them to independently analyze challenges, develop strategies, and execute tasks.

Agentic AI operates through a structured four-step process: 

• Perceive: Extract meaningful features and recognize objects. 
• Reason: Understand tasks and generate solutions. 
• Act: Execute tasks based on formulated plans.
