OpenAI is set to open its first Indian office in New Delhi later this year, marking a significant expansion into its second-largest market. CEO Sam Altman will visit India in September, acknowledging the country's rapid AI adoption, with ChatGPT users growing fourfold in the past year.
This move aligns with India's AI Mission, aiming to foster inclusive AI development and ensure its benefits reach every citizen. OpenAI plans to collaborate with the Indian government and local partners to build AI solutions tailored for the Indian market. The company aims to make advanced AI more accessible and affordable, supporting India's growing AI ecosystem and its position as a global AI leader.
OpenAI has already established a legal entity in India and begun hiring a local team to strengthen relationships with partners, governments, businesses, developers, and academic institutions. This expansion underscores India's increasing importance in the global AI landscape, driven by its thriving tech talent, developer ecosystem, and government support.
