OpenAI launches ChatGPT ads in India with 50+ brands, self-serve buying starts September 4

AI Market Summary
OpenAI is launching ChatGPT ads in India with major agency partners and a self-serve Ads Manager, targeting a large and fast-growing user base (100M+ weekly users in India; 1B+ globally). The rapid pilot monetization run-rate suggests ads are becoming a core revenue lever ahead of an IPO narrative. Near term, focus shifts to execution risk, user experience, and privacy constraints that may influence engagement and monetization efficiency.
