AI workplace productivity platform Slack revealed that problem solvers and expressionists in India are helping to drive technological transformation at work with their enthusiasm for AI and innovative communication styles.

Problem solvers are characterized by their mastery of tech and automation, with an unmatched enthusiasm for AI and streamlining work processes. A remarkable 92 percent of them identify as early-tech adopters and 77 percent express excitement about AI.
The problem solver's passion for incorporating AI into their work is evident, with 43 percent eager to leverage AI to enhance productivity. The expressionists, known for their strong visual communication style, make up 21 percent of India's workforce. They prioritize less formal and more engaging workplace interactions by using emojis, GIFs, and memes. “Every workplace, whether it has five or 5,000 employees, comprises a diverse ecosystem of personalities, skills, and approaches.
