India has reached 100 million weekly active users of ChatGPT, according to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, highlighting the country’s growing importance in the global AI landscape.

The milestone positions India as the platform’s second-largest user base after the United States, underscoring the rapid adoption of generative AI tools across the country. Altman shared the update ahead of a major AI summit in New Delhi, pointing to India as one of OpenAI’s most dynamic and high-growth markets.
