Yet, it stands 74th in workforce readiness and 73rd in human capital, exposing a gap between economic momentum and job-ready talent, according to the QS World Future Skills Index 2027 released Wednesday. India ranks 13th among 89 economies with a score of 89.4. It leads all lower-middle-income economies and South Asia.
