OpenAI: 100 Million Indians in ChatGPT

On February 16, 2026, Sam Altman confirmed that the weekly audience of ChatGPT in India has reached 100 million users. This makes the country one of the largest markets for OpenAI.

The figure explains Silicon Valley's close attention to India. It is not just the world's "back office," but a giant market for AI service consumption. The scale of adoption here determines the global success metrics of any LLM.
