Yes, AI is horrible for the planet. Right? Nope, think again, because women in India are using AI to make their lives so much better.
When I found out about this, I wasn’t surprised, but I was definitely vindicated.
Indian Women & AI
Urban working women in India are handing the most exhausting part of their day to machines—and it’s working. Not the job. The home. Meal planning. Daily logistics. The mental math that never ends. AI has stepped into that gap, and women are using it without ceremony.
Take a 37-year-old professional in Bengaluru with a decade of experience integrating emerging tech into corporate workflows. She hits a wall trying to plan meals for her family. So she opens ChatGPT, lists what’s in the kitchen, and gets a full plan back. Clean. Usable. Stress gone. You can feel the relief from here.
And this isn’t fringe behavior. India’s skilled workforce is already deep into AI use at work—92% of them. That number dwarfs the global average of 75%. India isn’t catching up. It’s out in front.
Why It Works
This works because AI tools like ChatGPT understand plain language and respond with context. You type ingredients. You mention preferences. You flag nutritional needs. The system processes all of it and returns a structured plan. No spreadsheets. No decision fatigue.
But the real shift is cognitive. The tool absorbs the planning burden—the constant prioritization that usually sits on women’s shoulders. Household management stops being an open tab in the brain.
And zoom out. India stands as the second-largest market for OpenAI, right behind the United States. That scale matters. It explains why these tools are already woven into daily routines, not parked in some future promise.
The Verdict
This is what practical AI looks like. Seriously, the Luddites can hate it as much as they want. It won’t change how valuable it is.
Indian women are using AI to rebalance their lives—professionally and domestically—by offloading the invisible labor that drains time and energy. And they’re doing it at national scale.
Beautiful, right? The future isn’t on its way. It’s already here, y’all.
