OpenAI has appointed a new managing director for India, Prabhjeet Singh, to scale its operations in the country, which is its second-largest market after the US. Singh will oversee consumer growth, enterprise adoption, and partnerships, among other areas. This move is part of OpenAI’s larger investment in India, where it has already opened offices and partnered with major conglomerates. The company is betting big on India’s rapidly growing adoption of AI, particularly ChatGPT. Why it matters: OpenAI’s expansion in India signals a significant push into a crucial market for US AI companies, driven by the country’s vast developer base and surging demand for generative AI.
