OpenAI says India has become ChatGPT’s largest market by weekly active users. Its Indian user base has doubled since January 2026.
OpenAI India managing director Prabhjeet Singh reported the milestone, following India’s earlier position as ChatGPT’s second-largest market. He also described India as a major, rapidly growing market for Codex, with developers in tier-II cities contributing significant usage.
OpenAI’s expansion includes a partnership with the HyperVault data centre business at TCS, starting with 100 megawatts of capacity and potentially scaling to 1 gigawatt. This computing capacity is meant to meet enterprise requirements for data residency and security. Businesses can also use OpenAI models through Amazon Bedrock from AWS, with local inference processing their requests inside India.
OpenAI is developing Indian-language capabilities and Android-first products to reach users beyond major cities. Its partnership with Razorpay gives Indian brands a route to advertise on ChatGPT, including campaign management and performance measurement. For companies serving India, the expansion creates more ways to reach customers and deploy AI locally, although user growth alone does not establish demand for paid subscriptions.
India’s position as ChatGPT’s largest user market makes Indian-language and mobile-first experiences more important for businesses building on the platform.
Local inference gives businesses a deployment option that keeps request processing within India.
The Razorpay partnership adds an advertising channel for Indian brands, but its commercial returns remain unproven in the report.
