OpenAI: Later this year, ChatGPT parent company OpenAI plans to create its first headquarters in India in New Delhi, strengthening its position in the country’s second-largest user base.

According to a statement released to the media, OpenAI, which is supported by Microsoft (MSFT.O), has opened a new tab, become a legitimate company in India, and started employing local staff. ChatGPT’s most important market is India, where it just last week introduced its most affordable monthly package, priced at $4.60, to reach the country’s roughly one billion internet users.

In India, news organizations and book publishers have accused OpenAI of utilizing their content without their consent to train ChatGPT, posing legal issues. The business has denied any misconduct. “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,” Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said in a statement.

Rivals like Google’s Gemini and AI startup Perplexity, which have both introduced products that make their sophisticated plans free for a large number of customers in the market, pose a serious threat to the company in India. According to recently released market data by OpenAI on Friday, India has the highest number of student users on ChatGPT, with weekly active users having doubled over the previous 12 months.
