Sam Altman to Visit India for AI Summit

Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, is planning to visit India in mid-February.

This visit coincides with the India AI Impact Summit 2026, which will be held in New Delhi from February 16 to 20.

The summit will bring together top global technology executives, including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei.

While Sam Altman's name is not on the official list of speakers, he is expected to be present for closed-door meetings and a separate event hosted by OpenAI.

India has become an important market for global AI companies, with OpenAI increasing its hiring and launching a lower-priced ChatGPT plan to boost adoption.

The country is also being considered for future AI infrastructure investments by companies like Google and Microsoft.
