India's AI adoption growing at record pace, momentum tripled on year: OpenAI's Oliver Jay
India's AI adoption growth is like a Bollywood blockbuster—full of drama, excitement, and unexpected twists that keep the world glued to its screen. Oliver Jay's revelation that India’s AI momentum has tripled year-over-year is not just a headline; it’s a shout-out to a youthful, tech-hungry population driving an epic transformation. The fact that OpenAI is opening its first office in New Delhi underscores India's rising star status in the global AI ecosystem, proving the old adage true: if you build for India, you build for the world. ChatGPT’s India-specific features like study mode are just previews of a much larger AI narrative unfolding in South Asia.
The rapid pace at which India is adopting AI is underpinned by a combination of demographic advantage—a large percentage of 18 to 24-year-olds eager for new technology—and formidable engineering talent. With India becoming OpenAI's second-largest market after the US, this surge is driving massive innovation and integration across sectors. OpenAI’s decision to make ChatGPT Go free in India and establish a local office reflects the strategic importance of the market in shaping AI’s future. According to multiple sources, momentum has tripled year-over-year, showcasing unprecedented growth that could contribute significantly to India’s GDP and global AI leadership in the coming years.
