Mr. Prateek Kithania on AI in India: 20 Jobs Likely to Be Affected — and 20 That Will Stay Safe

Prateek Kithania is one of those people who makes AI feel less scary and more understandable. He’s been working with tech, data, and human behaviour for years, and now helps companies, startups,   and even colleges figure out how to use AI the right way—not just smartly, but also responsibly.

What makes Prateek stand out is that he doesn’t throw around big technical words just to sound smart. He talks in a way that’s simple and relatable—whether he’s explaining how AI will affect jobs, what skills we’ll need in the future, or how AI fits into schools and hospitals. His goal is simple: to

help Indians get ready for the future without feeling confused or afraid.

According to Prateek’s experience and research following are the jobs that will be most affected by AI:

Call centre agents

Basic accounting/bookkeeping

Ticket agents/travel clerks

legal assistants (routine drafting)

Telephone operators

Finance/insurance underwriters doing rote tasks

Coders doing repetitive tasks

Junior marketing researchers

Customer service representatives

Basic QA testers in IT

Interpreters/translators

Marketing analytics (predictive reporting automation)

Writers/authors (basic content)

CNC tool programmers

Data entry clerks

Data scientists

HR screening roles

Web developers

Warehouse stockers

 

AI is already doing many of these jobs—or parts of them—using chatbots, automation, and pattern recognition. Big names like Microsoft highlight how language-based, repetitive roles, such as

customer service and writing, are highly vulnerable.

In India, call centres and BPO roles are getting hit hard; AI tools are even masking accents and giving instant replies. Also, the UN and local experts warn that IT, driving, and marketing roles may face

real disruption in five years

But the good news is, not every job is on the chopping block.

There are many careers that still need a strong human touch—things AI just can’t replicate, like   empathy, creativity, hands-on skills, or emotional intelligence. Whether it’s caring for someone’s health, fixing something with your hands, or solving real-world problems with out-of-the-box

thinking, these are the areas where humans still shine.

 

So if you’re planning your career path or simply wondering whether your job is future-proof, don’t        worry. Here is a list of jobs in opinion of Mr. Prateek Kithani that are least likely to be replaced by AI in the next five years

 

Nurses & nurse practitioners

Plumbers

Psychiatrists or therapists

Chefs & bakers

Physical therapists

Farmers & arborists

Dentists & dental hygienists

Social workers

Nutritionists / dieticians

Journalists (investigative)

Teachers (K-12) & university professors

Hair stylists & makeup artists

Tutors & learning coaches

Priests / religious mentors & ethicists

Painters (creative artists)

Auto mechanics

Craft artists / DIY entrepreneurs

Phlebotomists

Electricians

Emergency responders: paramedics, firefighters

These jobs demand a human touch, empathy, creativity, or hands-on work. Microsoft and other

sources tell us that manual, caregiving, creative, and nuanced roles are much less replaceable by AI. Think trades, healthcare, education, art, law, healing—those won’t go away. Even where AI helps,     humans lead; AI assists, it doesn’t replace empathy or emotional support.
