OpenAI has promoted Pragya Misra to lead its strategy in India, indicative of a significant scaling of the company’s operations in one of its fastest-growing global markets. Recently promoted to Head of Strategy and Global Affairs, India, Misra will ensure the company’s vision integrates product development, policy making, partnerships, and ecosystem-building across the board. OpenAI hopes to deepen its support of the national IndiaAI mission and democratize access to its frontier AI models, creating innovations tailored for the Indian context, and partnering to design inclusive, high-impact solutions.
OpenAI’s India operations are pivotal to its global strategy.

Building AI infrastructure and supporting businesses of all scales, as well as education, healthcare, agriculture, and citizen services in multiple languages is the focus of Misra’s mandate. She will establish and strengthen collaborative efforts with AI’s societal upliftment and innovation for and with the public, as well as partnerships with emerging ventures, public agencies, and industry leaders.
