Which City Leads India In Chat GPT Usage?
India is often hailed as one of the fastest-growing markets for artificial intelligence, but beneath the headlines lies a quieter, more uneven reality. A recent report by OpenAI reveals that nearly half of all ChatGPT users in the country are concentrated in just ten cities/regions that account for only about 10% of the population.
This sharp concentration raises a critical question: if AI is supposed to democratize access to knowledge and opportunity, why is its adoption still so limited to a handful of urban pockets?
On the surface, India’s AI growth story is impressive. The country ranks among the top globally in using advanced AI capabilities like coding, reasoning, and data analysis. Yet, this progress is heavily centered in metropolitan hubs such as Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad. Outside these cities, adoption drops significantly, exposing a familiar pattern of digital inequality.
