TLDR: NIIT Limited has launched a new industry-aligned program, ‘Building Agentic AI Systems,’ designed to equip engineers and professionals with the skills necessary to develop, secure, and operate autonomous, goal-driven AI agents, addressing a critical talent gap in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
New Delhi, November 7, 2025 – NIIT Limited, a prominent Indian skills and talent development company, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking program, ‘Building Agentic AI Systems.’ This initiative is strategically designed to prepare engineers and professionals for the next frontier of artificial intelligence, focusing on the development and deployment of autonomous, goal-driven AI agents.
The program aims to bridge the widening gap between industry demand and the availability of skilled AI engineering talent, particularly as AI technology evolves beyond mere text generation to systems capable of reasoning, planning, and acting independently. According to McKinsey, generative AI holds the potential to unlock an additional $2.6 trillion to $4.4 trillion in value, with agentic systems contributing significantly to this potential. Deloitte further projects that 25% of companies utilizing Generative AI will initiate agentic AI pilots or proofs of concept in 2025, a figure expected to rise to 50% by 2027.
Speaking on the launch, Pankaj Jathar, CEO, NIIT Limited, stated, “Agentic AI represents a new frontier in enterprise transformation, where software doesn’t just assist — it acts. As organizations adopt autonomous systems across various domains, the need for professionals who can design and operate these systems safely and effectively is critical. Through this program, NIIT is creating a skilled talent pool ready to meet that challenge.”
The ‘Building Agentic AI Systems’ program is a hands-on, 25-week specialization built on NIIT’s proven ‘learning by doing’ methodology. It emphasizes practical application over theoretical training, with learners dedicating over 60% of their time to hands-on assignments and projects. The curriculum includes live mentor-led sessions and project-based learning, covering essential modules such as Python for AI-embedded applications, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), Autonomous Multi-Agent Workflows, and a Capstone Project aligned with enterprise-grade standards.
Participants will gain practical experience working with advanced frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, Guardrails AI, and Azure AI Foundry, enabling them to build scalable autonomous systems for real-world applications. The program is open to developers proficient in modern programming stacks including Python, Java, JavaScript, or .NET (C#).
