McKinsey Global Institute, Nov 2025 · US
What the source measured
Technical potential in the US, not a job-loss forecast: 44% via agents, 13% via robots. McKinsey stresses that the value depends on redesigning workflows.
What it means for Indian businesses
McKinsey counts hours of tasks, not whole jobs.
Most of those hours are routine information work: reading a document, entering it somewhere else, checking it against a rule, writing a reply. In a plant that looks like RFQ intake, drawing checks, stock reconciliation and status emails.
We start an audit by asking your team where those hours go in a normal week. The tasks that are frequent, rule-based and already digital are where an agent pays back first.
