# OpenAI pushes into higher education as India seeks to scale AI skills

**[TechCrunch](https://daily.dev/sources/tc)** · 3 min read · 2 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

OpenAI is partnering with six major Indian higher-education institutions — including IIT Delhi, IIM Ahmedabad, and AIIMS New Delhi — aiming to reach over 100,000 students, faculty, and staff within a year. The initiative provides campus-wide access to ChatGPT Edu tools, faculty training, responsible-use frameworks, and OpenAI-backed certifications at select institutions. It also extends to Indian ed-tech platforms like PhysicsWallah and upGrad. The move coincides with India's AI Impact Summit and mirrors similar pushes by Google and Microsoft to embed AI skills at scale in one of the world's largest talent markets, where ChatGPT already has 100 million monthly active users.
