OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, has unveiled its strategy to launch its first office in New Delhi later this year. This will serve as a marker of the company’s progress towards realizing its global expansion goals, placing India at the center of its plans due to the pace of AI adoption in the country and its large user base.

CEO Sam Altman made the announcement on X, sharing his excitement about the company’s India debut. “We are opening our first office in India later this year! I’m looking forward to visiting next month. AI adoption in India has been amazing to watch—ChatGPT users grew 4x in the past year—and we are excited to invest much more in India!”

Why India Matters for OpenAI

India has quickly become one of the primary markets for OpenAI. India ranks second globally in ChatGPT usage, just behind the United States. India's operation reflects their growing soft power in artificial intelligence markets as millions of citizens leverage ChatGPT for education and work-related tasks.

OpenAI operates out of India to strengthen partnerships between local businesses and developers as well as its AI ecosystem, driving adoption of AI technologies into various sectors.

Hiring in Progress: Key Roles Open

Even before launching the office, OpenAI has commenced recruitment for pivotal positions in India. As per the company’s career application portal, OpenAI is actively searching for three positions of Account Directors, each concentrating on one of the verticals listed below:

  • Digital Narratives – Minimum 7 years of experience required.

  • Strategics – Requires up to 14 years of experience in strategic accounts.

These openings are part of the sales functions of OpenAI, which indicates that there is greater emphasis on advanced business development and partnership in India.
