India Hits 100M Weekly ChatGPT Users, Now OpenAI's #2 Market
India has become ChatGPT's second-largest market globally, trailing only the US with 100 million weekly active users.
India just locked in its spot as OpenAI's second-biggest market on the planet. CEO Sam Altman dropped the stat ahead of a government-hosted AI Impact Summit: 100 million weekly active ChatGPT users in India alone.
That puts the country right behind the United States in terms of active usage. No small feat for a market that's become a battleground for AI adoption.
The timing of the announcement is deliberate. Altman shared the figure as India gears up for its AI summit, signaling OpenAI's deepening commitment to the region. A user base that massive gives the company serious leverage in conversations with policymakers.
For context, 100 million weekly actives from a single country outside the US is a staggering concentration of engagement — and a clear sign of where global AI demand is heading.
