During his visit, Altman is scheduled to meet with key government officials, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and India’s Minister for Information Technology, Railways, and Broadcasting, Ashwini Vaishnaw on February 5, 2025.

Altman stated that India is "a very important market for AI," ranking as OpenAI's second-largest market.
He emphasized that India should play a pivotal role in shaping the future of artificial intelligence, asserting, "India should be one of the leaders of the AI revolution."
