BUG:Indexing works in series in the application while folder Uploads.

What happened?

Problem:

Right now, whenever we upload a folder, the Indexing process works in series i.e:

• If you upload a folder and quickly enable AI TAGGING, it goes through a indexing process first, then it starts the AI TAGGING but,
  if you upload FOLDER -2 instantly after FOLDER - 1 and the AI TAGGING is still in process for FOLDER - 1,
  FOLDER -2 ends up waiting in queue/ or line until FOLDER-1 finishes.

- This is not the copy or duplicate of ISSUE - 1373.

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Open the application.
2. Upload Folder 1.
3. As soon as the upload starts, enable AI Tagging for Folder 1.
4. Before the indexing/AI Tagging for Folder 1 completes, upload Folder 2.
5. Observe that Folder 2 does not begin indexing immediately.
6. Folder 2 remains queued until both the indexing and AI Tagging for Folder 1 have finished.

Current Behavior:

• Folder uploads are processed sequentially.
• Folder 2 waits for Folder 1's entire indexing and AI Tagging pipeline to complete before its own indexing starts.

Expected Behaviour:

• The indexing should be done i parallel instead of series.
  (Yes it will take more CPU consumption if you are uploading multiple folders at the same time, but indexing is not a that big of a process to begin with, i think it's gonna be fine for low end machines also.)
