are not only innovative but also safe andresponsible.
OpenAI is making another bold move in the AIinfrastructure space, and this time, it's
(01:54):
setting its sights on India.
They're planning to build a massive data centerin the country, potentially one of the largest
in India’s rapidly growing AI and cloud market.
Imagine that—a gigawatt-scale facility right inthe heart of one of the world's most populous
nations!
Now, why India?
Well, OpenAI is in discussions with localpartners to nail down specifics, but the

(03:03):
That’s a staggering amount, showing just howserious OpenAI is about revolutionizing AI
infrastructure.
By partnering with companies like SoftBank andOracle, OpenAI is not just building data
centers; they’re creating a network thatsupports diverse sectors—from scientific
research to defense.
And in India, this means tapping into athriving tech ecosystem and a vast pool of
(03:28):
talent.
So, what does this mean for you?
Well, whether you're in tech or just interestedin the future of AI, this expansion could pave
