'We are excited to invest in India': Sam Altman looking forward to visit India next month

Chatgpt founder Sam Altman on Friday said that he is looking forward to visit India next month and to invest much more in the country. Earlier, he said that OpenAI is opening its first office in India later this year.

"We are opening our first office in india later this year! and 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," Altman posted on X.

OpenAI said that it has officially established an entity in India and has begun hiring a dedicated local team. This team will focus on strengthening relationships with local partners, governments, businesses, developers, and academic institutions.

“The level of excitement and opportunity for AI in India is incredible. India has all the ingredients to become a global AI leader—amazing tech talent, a world-class developer ecosystem, and strong government support through the IndiaAI Mission” said Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI.

"Opening our first office and building a local team is an important first step in our commitment to make advanced AI more accessible across the country and to build AI for India, and with India," he added.

Ashwini Vaishnaw, Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology, Railways & Information Broadcasting said in a statement "OpenAI’s decision to establish a presence in India reflects the country’s growing leadership in digital innovation and AI adoption. With strong investments in digital public infrastructure, AI talent, and enterprise-scale solutions, India is uniquely positioned to drive the next wave of AI-led transformation."

"As part of the IndiaAI Mission, we are building the ecosystem for trusted and inclusive AI, and we welcome OpenAI’s partnership in advancing this vision to ensure the benefits of AI reach every citizen," the union minister said.
