New Delhi, 7 April 2025: There was a time when artificial intelligence (AI) sounded like the story of a science fiction film. People thought that this technology is a dream of a distant future. But today that dream has become a reality, and the biggest example of this is ChatGPT. When OpenAI launched it in November 2022, no one had thought that this technology would take over the world so fast. Today it is not only becoming a means of conversation, but has become a part of people’s lives. And the biggest center of this revolution has become India – the country where the use of ChatGPT is growing at lightning speed.

ChatGPT wave in India

The magic of ChatGPT is spreading all over the world, but according to OpenAI, India is now its fastest growing market. Recently, OpenAI’s Chief Operating Officer Brad Lightcap confirmed this and said, “The enthusiasm for AI in India is unprecedented. Last week itself, more than 130 million users created more than 700 million pictures through ChatGPT. This is a new record for us.” This figure not only shows the popularity of technology, but also testifies to India’s growing steps in the digital revolution.

A big reason for this is the recently added new feature, which is inspired by the Japanese animation studio ‘Studio Ghibli’. Through this feature, users can create their photos or favorite characters in animated style. Since the launch, there has been a flood of such pictures on social media, and Indian users are at the forefront of it. Rahul Verma, a user from Delhi, said, “I made my family photo in Ghibli style. It was fun to see how lovely the touch of 1920 films still looks today.”

India’s love for technology

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is also impressed by this enthusiasm of India. Recently, he wrote on his X handle, “India is leaving the world market behind.” Along with this, he shared an AI-generated picture of himself, in which he is seen in the jersey of the Indian cricket team. This picture not only shows the wonder of technology, but also underlines an emotional connection with India. This move of Altman proved to further increase his popularity among Indian users.
Technological expert Priya Mehta says, “The young population in India and the curiosity towards technology is the secret of ChatGPT’s success. Here people are considering it not just a tool, but a companion of creativity and productivity.” From education to health, content creation to customer service, ChatGPT is making its place in every field.
Why so much popularity in India?
There are many reasons behind the increasing demand for ChatGPT in India. First of all, the huge population and number of smartphone users here make it a big market. Secondly, the urge to adopt AI among the youth is taking it further. Neha Sharma, a student, said, “I get ideas for assignments from ChatGPT. It is like a teacher for me.” At the same time, small business owners are using it for customer support and marketing.

New features like animation and image generation have made it more attractive. The 700 million photos last week are proof that people are using it not only for questions and answers, but also to give wings to their creativity.

Future prospects

As the world is becoming digital, the expansion of AI in India is opening up new possibilities. Experts believe that if this pace continues, India can soon become a global hub of AI innovation. Tech analyst Ajay Verma says, “Technology like ChatGPT can transform education and startups in India. If the government and companies take it in the right direction, our contribution will become an example for the world.”

However, the challenges are also not less. It is important to pay attention to issues like data privacy and misuse of AI. But for now, the popularity of ChatGPT in India is a fact, breaking new records every day.

Conclusion: India’s digital flight

ChatGPT’s success is not just a victory of technology, but a story of the curiosity and enthusiasm of the people of India. It is a tool that not only answers questions but helps make dreams come true. From Studio Ghibli-style images to everyday tasks, this technology has captured the hearts of Indians. Sam Altman is right—India is truly beating the global market, and the journey has just begun.
