Artificial Intelligence is taking over the world and showing its presence all across the global market. Now, in a growing market like India, OpenAI is all set to open a corporate office in the capital of the country in a few months. This will be a huge step in establishing the company’s presence in a key growth market.
OpenAI is a company that is well-known throughout the globe for its AI chatbot ChatGPT. The company has given out a statement on Friday, August 22nd, that it has begun hiring to expand the company’s local team. As per the reports, the company currently has only one employee in India, Pragya Misra, who joined the firm last year and leads public policy and partnerships in the country.
This will be a huge step in OpenAI’s venture in the Indian market as it will help them establish a bigger presence in the country. The hiring spree that the company is on will help them to establish partnerships with the government, businesses and developers in the country.
OpenAI has stated that they will be willing to work with the federal government and will commit to their $1.2 billion IndiaAI Mission. Through this AI mission the country seeks to build large and small language models for the region in the future. This expansion also underscores OpenAI’s effort to help shape early regulations in a technology that’s rapidly changing with time.
India, being the world’s most populous country, is second biggest markets for OpenAI’s ChatGPT in terms of users. Earlier this week, the company launched a more affordable monthly plan at below $5 to pursue more customers. The plan offers a basic free plan and other premium paid subscriptions.
