OpenAI's India Expansion Signals Cash Crunch

OpenAI's new India chief, Prabhjeet Singh (former Uber India leader), arrives amid financial strain: the company lost $3.7 billion against $5.7 billion revenue in Q1 2026. India's surging enterprise and public-sector AI spending, plus its large developer base, makes it attractive. Singh's track record navigating complex local regulation suggests OpenAI is hunting major contracts, not just market presence.
