Realizing the value from skills intelligence starts with a unified business case and requires collaboration across HR, business, and finance leaders.

Amit Mishra, CEO of iMocha, said, "As organizations face an accelerating pace of change, driven by AI and digital transformation, the ability to harness skills intelligence has become a decisive factor in achieving sustainable growth. Our latest report demonstrates that a skills-first approach not only addresses the pressing challenge of the skills gap but also unlocks significant economic value by improving the accuracy and efficiency of workforce transformations."

Reflecting on the report findings, Priyanka Gupta, Partner, People Advisory Services, EY India said, "As skills intelligence gains traction, leaders need concrete data on its impact to move beyond initial trials. Companies should monitor their accuracy rates in hiring, training, and attrition to gauge their true costs and the improvements possible with skills-first transformation (SFT). As more organizations embrace SFT 2.0, we'll see industry benchmarks emerge, reflecting the real-world impact of skills intelligence."
