OpenAI Drops ’AI for Impact’ in India—Tech Giant’s Latest Play for Emerging Markets
Silicon Valley’s favorite AI lab plants its flag in the world’s fastest-growing tech hub.
The Big Bet
OpenAI’s new initiative promises to ’accelerate AI solutions’ for India’s thorniest problems—education, healthcare, and that perennial favorite of tech giants: ’inclusive growth.’ No dollar figures attached, naturally.
Why It Matters

The Cynic’s Corner
Another ’for impact’ program from a company that just hit $100B valuation? How revolutionary. At least they didn’t slap ’blockchain’ on it this time.
