Leading US-based AI companies OpenAI and Anthropic have expanded their global hiring efforts with a slate of roles specifically targeting talent in India, reflecting the companies’ growing focus on the region as it builds out local operations.
OpenAI currently lists nine open positions with India locations (Delhi office and remote options) spanning sales, customer success, growth, partnerships, and technical roles.
Several of the roles are focused on sales and revenue growth. These include Account Director positions for Digital Natives, Large Enterprises and Startups. The roles involve managing the full sales cycle, working with engineering and product teams, and helping customers adopt OpenAI’s models and tools for business use cases.
On the customer success side, OpenAI is hiring an AI Deployment Manager in India. The role centres on supporting enterprise customers during implementation, ensuring AI systems are deployed responsibly and deliver measurable outcomes. The company is also hiring a Growth Lead for India, a role focused on driving adoption, usage, and engagement of OpenAI products through local growth strategies, partnerships, and market insights.
Notably, Pragya Misra, public policy and partnership lead, was the company’s first Indian hire. Earlier this year, OpenAI hired Raghav Gupta, former Asia-Pacific MD at Coursera, to lead its education division in India and the APAC region.
The company also appointed Sheeladitya Mohanty as marketing lead and Akash Iyer as social lead for India.
OpenAI is also expanding its partnerships and technical teams in the country. The Product Partnerships Lead role will focus on building and managing strategic partnerships to support product distribution and adoption in India.
Meanwhile, technical roles such as Solutions Architect, Solutions Architect for Startups, and Solutions Engineer are aimed at helping customers and developers design, deploy, and scale applications using OpenAI’s models, while addressing reliability, safety, and performance requirements.
Anthropic is also hiring for roles in India. The company is hiring for two sales-focused positions–Enterprise Account Executive and Industries and Startup Account Executive, in Bangalore.
This recruitment push comes alongside announcements from both OpenAI and Anthropic about opening offices in India. The country has already emerged as one of the most active markets globally for both AI startups, reflecting India’s growing role in their expansion strategies and long-term plans.
