OpenAI appoints Prabhjeet Singh as its Managing Director for India, naming him as the company’s top executive in the country as it expands its local operations. Multiple outlets describe Singh as a senior Uber executive who previously served as President for India and South Asia and led Uber’s mobility business across India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. OpenAI says he will join the company in September and report to Kiran Mani, Managing Director for Asia Pacific.
Times of India and The Next Web add that Singh’s role focuses on growing OpenAI’s consumer presence and driving enterprise adoption, along with building strategic partnerships and engaging with regulators. NDTV frames the appointment as part of OpenAI’s broader investments and effort to deepen its India strategy.
Before Uber, Singh’s career includes consulting work and earlier roles at Lehman Brothers, according to NDTV. Times of India also notes his education at IIT Kharagpur and IIM Ahmedabad. Overall, the sources agree the move brings an established India-region technology and business leader to help OpenAI scale in its biggest market outside the United States.
