What the source measured
The 7.5% of 'future-built' companies posted 2.4× revenue growth and 2.8× EBITDA growth versus laggards (1,330 executives).
What it means for Indian businesses
The 7.5% that BCG calls future-built are ahead on both revenue and EBITDA growth.
BCG's comparison is between the top 7.5% and the laggards, so most companies sit somewhere in between. The finding is a correlation across a large survey, not a promise for any single company.
What we take from it is practical: the companies ahead treat AI as a change to operations with a budget and an owner, not as a pilot run by IT on the side.
