In a groundbreaking report, OpenAI highlights India’s dominance in practical AI applications through ChatGPT. Far surpassing global norms, Indian professionals are harnessing data analysis at four times the average rate and coding tools via Codex at three times that level.
Breaking down user behavior, Indians pose coding questions three times more frequently than the world average and learning queries at double the rate. Professional use edges out at 35% versus 30% globally, focusing on content creation, edits, tech support, bug fixes, and productivity boosts.
Non-work chats lean heavily into actionable advice (35%), with info-seeking and writing evenly split at 20% each. This pattern illustrates AI’s transformative impact on individual growth and efficiency.
‘Signals’—OpenAI’s new data initiative—aims to anchor AI conversations in evidence, as noted by Chief Economist Ronnie Chatterjee: ‘The speed of AI uptake poses measurement challenges. We’re committed to data-driven discourse over speculation, especially in India.’
Young users drive the momentum: Ages 18-24 generate half the messages, while 18-34-year-olds contribute 80%. Regional hotspots include Telangana for top coding activity, trailed by Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
Boasting 100 million+ weekly active users, India has emerged as ChatGPT’s premier non-US market and Codex’s quickest riser. This reflects strategic, advanced AI deployment boosting India’s tech prowess.
