OpenAI's Indian User Base Doubles as Rapido Quadruples Its Government Business
Published
Two fast-growing companies have recently reported big jumps in their user numbers in India. According to a report in The Economic Times, the number of Indian users of OpenAI, the company behind the ChatGPT chatbot, has doubled over the past year. The growth shows how quickly artificial intelligence tools are becoming part of everyday life for students, workers, and small business owners across the country.
At the same time, the ride-hailing and delivery company Rapido has reported that its Government business, known as Rapido GOV, has grown four times in size. This division works with public bodies and government agencies, and its growth suggests that more state and local authorities are using private transport and logistics platforms to support their work. The company has not released detailed figures in the short report, so the exact size of the business remains unclear.
These two developments show different sides of India's digital economy. AI tools are attracting large numbers of individual users, while mobility companies are finding new customers in the public sector. Both trends suggest that digital services are expanding beyond big cities and into areas that were previously served mainly by traditional methods.
Experts and industry observers will be watching whether these growth rates continue in the coming months. For now, the figures give a clear picture of how quickly Indian consumers and public institutions are adopting new technology.
