OpenAI is seeking to build a massive new data center in India that could mark a major step forward in Asia for its Stargate-branded artificial intelligence infrastructure push, Bloomberg reported on Monday.
The ChatGPT-maker is currently scouting local partners to set up a data center with at least 1-gigawatt capacity in the world’s most populous country, the report said.
The site could be among the largest in India, where tech giants including Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Alphabet’s Google (GOOG) have also invested in such facilities.
OpenAI is currently on an expansion drive in India, its second-largest market in the world by users, and its chief, Sam Altman, is scheduled to visit India in September.
