India led global workplace AI adoption, with 41% employees using AI nearly daily and 80% using it several times weekly, according to ADP Research. Despite higher engagement and lower stress among regular users, many reported feeling less productive as AI automated routine tasks. ADP India MD Rahul Goyal said organisations must focus on adaptability, not just efficiency, to sustain confidence.
