OpenAI has appointed Prabhjeet Singh as Managing Director for India, strengthening the company’s leadership team as it expands operations and enterprise AI adoption efforts in one of its fastest-growing markets.
Singh will join OpenAI in September and report to Kiran Mani, according to the company.

During his tenure, Uber expanded services including Auto, Moto, and Shuttle while strengthening its electric mobility initiatives and partnerships linked to India’s digital public infrastructure ecosystem, including collaborations connected to the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC).
Before joining Uber in 2015, Singh worked at McKinsey & Company as an Associate Partner. He is an alumnus of Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur and Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad.
The leadership appointment highlights OpenAI’s growing strategic focus on India as enterprises and developers accelerate investments in AI adoption, automation, cloud infrastructure, and AI-driven digital transformation initiatives.
