Mysuru is emerging as a significant hub for artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity, fueled by India’s youthful demographic, with over
65% of the population under 35 years. This demographic advantage positions the city and country for rapid technological and economic growth.
Mysuru MP Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar emphasized the city’s strategic strengths, stating,
“the city was well-positioned to leverage its strength in cyber security, information technology and the emerging field of artificial intelligence (AI).”He further highlighted India’s economic trajectory, noting,
“India was not only an emerging and fastest growing economy but was also a stable one, and the demography of the country was favourable as the youth constituted a large portion of the population.”The youth are seen as pivotal agents of change, transitioning from job seekers to job creators, thereby driving the entrepreneurial spirit forward. As Mr. Yaduveer added,
“The youth could be harbingers of change from being job seekers to job creators and take the entrepreneurial spirit of the country forward.”Supporting this view, B. Sadashive Gowda, principal of VVCE, remarked on the potential impact of this young workforce:
“More than 65% of the country’s population was below 35 years, and the youth force could make a difference and contribute to the emergence of India as a progressive and a developed country.”This demographic dividend is driving Mysuru’s rise as a center for innovation in AI and cybersecurity, reflecting broader national trends where youth-led initiatives are shaping India’s future as a global technology leader.
