TechCrunch·medium signal
OpenAI hired Uber's India head to run its operations in the country, per TechCrunch, deepening offices, partnerships, and hiring in what it now calls its largest market outside the United States. The move follows Amazon's fresh $13B India infrastructure commitment and signals India becoming a primary battleground for AI distribution. It reflects a broader land-grab for users and talent in high-growth, price-sensitive markets.
