OpenAI to open new offices in Mumbai and Bengaluru as Sam Altman attends AI Impact Summit

OpenAI announced that it will open two new offices in India in Mumbai and Bengaluru later in the year. It is especially noteworthy that the ChatGPT producer already has a presence in New Delhi, with its office opened last year.

“India is already leading the way in AI adoption, and with its homegrown tech talent, optimism about what AI can do for the country, and strong government support, it is well positioned to help shape its future and how democratic AI is adopted at scale. Through OpenAI for India, we are working with India to build the infrastructure, skills, and local partnerships needed to build AI for and in India,” Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said in a blog post reacting to the development.

Notably, Altman is currently in India for the ongoing AI Impact Summit 2026 and is all set to attend the important event at the Bharat Mandapam today.
