OpenAI has started hiring in India as it looks to expand its presence in the fast-growing South Asian tech market.

The ChatGPT maker said it has established a legal entity in India and started hiring a local team for the office, which will be based in New Delhi.

Microsoft Corp. backed OpenAI will establish its first India office in New Delhi later this year, targeting its second-largest user market with localized operations and competitive pricing strategies.

OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, has announced plans to visit India in September as the company prepares to open its first office in the country.

OpenAI is set to open a corporate office in the Indian capital of New Delhi in a few months, establishing a formal presence in a key growth market.

OpenAI’s latest language model, GPT-5, may be more powerful and accurate than its predecessors, but the company has warned users not to treat ChatGPT as their main source of information.

OpenAI is working on a cheaper plan called ChatGPT Go, and we previously thought it would be just limited to a few regions like India, but that may not be the case.
