Welcome to The OpenAI Daily Brief, your go-tofor the latest AI updates.
Today is Monday, September 1, 2025.
Here’s what you need to know about OpenAI’sambitious plan to build a gigawatt-scale data
center in India as part of the $500 billionStargate project.
Let’s dive in.
(00:29):
Imagine a massive facility buzzing withservers, all working together to power the next
generation of artificial intelligence.
That’s exactly what OpenAI has in mind with itsplan to establish one of the largest data
centers in India.
This isn’t just a tech upgrade; it’s a pivotalmove in OpenAI’s strategy to build sovereign AI

infrastructure worldwide.
AI companies need immense computing power totrain their models, and OpenAI’s Stargate
initiative, backed by giants like SoftBank,Microsoft, and Oracle, is set to meet these
demands.
The project aims to build large-scale AIinfrastructure across the globe, and India,
being OpenAI’s second-largest market by users,is a key player in this plan.
(01:15):
While the project’s broad strokes are clear,some details remain under wraps.
The exact location of the data center hasn’tbeen disclosed, and a timeline for construction
is still up in the air.
However, OpenAI is in talks with local partnersto bring this vision to life, and more details
might emerge during CEO Sam Altman’s visit toIndia this month.
(01:37):
This development is more than just aboutmeeting computational needs.
By having a data center in India, OpenAI canbetter comply with data residency rules and
improve service performance for localenterprise users.
This move is crucial as OpenAI faces stiffcompetition from rivals like Google’s Gemini
and Perplexity, who are offering aggressivediscounts to win over users.
