The use of artificial intelligence is rapidly increasing in India, as evidenced by a new report from ChatGPT. According to OpenAI, nearly half of the ChatGPT messages sent in the country are sent by young people aged 18 to 24. Overall, users under the age of 30 drive approximately 80 percent of activity. India's youth are rapidly adopting AI and shaping the digital future.
AI's Pace in India Driven by Youth
According to OpenAI, ChatGPT's largest user base in India is young people. Users aged 18 to 24 alone send nearly half of the messages, while those under 30 account for approximately 80 percent. This trend shows that the new generation is increasingly incorporating AI tools into their work and studies. The company says that India has become a key market for its rapidly growing population.
Most used for work
According to the report, approximately 35 percent of messages sent from India are related to professional work, which is slightly higher than the global average. Users are using ChatGPT for content creation, research, office tasks, and productivity enhancement. Beyond work, people are also using the tool for general information, guidance, and writing assistance. This clearly demonstrates that AI is no longer just an experiment but is becoming a part of everyday work.
India Leads in Coding
OpenAI specifically stated that its coding assistant, Codex, is being used more than the global average in India. Its weekly usage rate has increased rapidly in recent weeks, and Indian users are asking more coding-related questions. This reflects the country's large developer base and the growing use of AI in programming. Anthropic's report also indicates that a significant portion of AI tasks in India are related to software development.
Preparing for Major Expansion in India
OpenAI is now working on plans to strengthen its presence in India. The company is preparing to open new offices in Mumbai and Bengaluru this year and is expanding its AI computing capabilities through a partnership with the Tata Group. ChatGPT Enterprise is also being developed through TCS. The company is also working with companies like Pine Labs, ixigo, MakeMyTrip, and Eternal, and plans to expand its AI tools to over 100,000 students in the coming years. Sam Altman also stated that the cost of obtaining complex answers from AI has decreased by over 1,000 times in the last 14 months, which will benefit countries like India the most.
