OpenAI announced that the data of Indian ChatGPT Enterprise, ChatGPT Edu, and the OpenAI API Platform users will now be stored locally in the country. This will help the companies using these products meet local data sovereignty requirements when using OpenAI products in their businesses and building new solutions with AI. For ChatGPT Enterprise and ChatGPT Edu users in India, this will mean that their conversations with ChatGPT and custom GPTs will all be stored in India. This will include user prompts, uploaded files, and content across text, vision, and image modalities.
Eligible customers of the ChatGPT API Platform can enable data residency by creating a new project in the API Platform dashboard and selecting the relevant country.
“Currently, data storage for the API Platform will be stored in the selected region,” OpenAI said.
OpenAI data localization India
It was earlier reported by a leading daily that the ChatGPT maker had initiated the process of setting up data centre operations in India to support the growing number of users and burgeoning load of the extensive use cases of its artificial intelligence tools in the country.
India has grown to be the second-largest market for OpenAI, and the number of users in the country tripled over 2024, the company’s chief executive officer Sam Altman had said during his visit to the country in February.
