OpenAI will host closed-door meetings and a separate event on February 19 for VCs and industry executives. The visit reflects India's growing importance as a key market for AI companies, with OpenAI expanding hiring across enterprise sales and technical roles while facing challenges converting high user numbers into paid subscriptions. Other major AI firms including Anthropic, Google, Meta, and Nvidia are also participating in the summit and hosting side events, as India seeks to attract up to $100 billion in AI investment. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
