India has become ChatGPT's largest market globally by weekly active users, and its user base has doubled since January this year, OpenAI India Managing Director Prabhjeet Singh said.

According to ChainCatcher, The Economic Times reported Singh's comments. He joined OpenAI in August this year, and the interview was his first since joining.

Singh said OpenAI expects to make announcements related to India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) and payments in the coming weeks. Enterprise customers are moving from pilots and demonstrations to scaled production deployments, he said.

On concerns that autonomous AI agents could be misused, Singh said OpenAI is working with government agencies and businesses to protect critical infrastructure.
