Fordel StudiosIndia has 100M weekly active ChatGPT users, Sam Altman says
What Happened
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says India has the largest number of student users of ChatGPT worldwide.
Our Take
Gut: Traditional education in Asia just got disrupted in real time and nobody's talking about it seriously.
100M weekly active student users in a country with 250M+ students means ChatGPT is becoming the default tutor. Cheaper, 24/7, no judgment. Indian schools and coaching centers are getting hollowed out. Universities will suffer worse.
This isn't a ChatGPT win—it's an indictment of education systems that made a commodity more valuable than the institutions themselves.
What To Do
Education tech in Asia has ~18 months before AI tutoring becomes the baseline—pivot your offering now or get displaced.
