OpenAI India office to open soon
The fact that OpenAI has formally established a local office in India and intends to create its first office in New Delhi later this year highlights ChatGPT’s fourfold expansion in India over the last 12 months.
India is getting closer to AI’s biggest star. Later this year, OpenAI, the firm that created ChatGPT, plans to open its first headquarters in New Delhi.
The action demonstrates the company’s increasing attention to India, which is currently its second-largest user base.
In a statement to Reuters on Friday, OpenAI acknowledged that the company had already registered as a local entity and begun assembling a staff in the nation.
India is currently one of ChatGPT’s fastest-growing markets and its second-largest market after the US. According to OpenAI, the weekly user base of ChatGPT in India has increased by more than four times in the last 12 months.
Additionally, the nation is home to:
- among the world’s top five developer bases.
- the greatest number of students worldwide utilizing ChatGPT.
- Local team, local office
OpenAI has begun employing a local workforce and has already incorporated as a legal business in India. In order to increase AI’s presence in the nation, the New Delhi office will concentrate on collaborating with governments, corporations, developers, and academic institutions.
OpenAI just this week made ChatGPT Go available in India for just ₹399 a month. With more capabilities than the free version, this more affordable package makes AI more accessible to millions of internet users.
For OpenAI, things are not always easy in India. Publishers have filed legal objections against the corporation, claiming that ChatGPT was trained using their content without their consent. OpenAI disputes any misconduct.
Meanwhile, competition is intensifying. For Indian consumers, Google’s Gemini and Perplexity, an AI firm, are providing alluring options that are occasionally even free.
