OpenAI expands Asia-Pacific strategy with major leadership hire. The artificial intelligence company has appointed Kiran Mani, former CEO of JioStar, as managing director for Asia-Pacific operations starting June, based in Singapore. Mani brings 25 years of experience scaling digital platforms at Google, Microsoft, and IBM, most recently leading JioStar's streaming service with over 300 million subscribers. This strategic move signals OpenAI's aggressive push into high-growth markets, particularly India's 1.4 billion population, as it intensifies competition with Anthropic and Google for user acquisition. The hire follows OpenAI's February partnership with Tata Group on AI infrastructure development, demonstrating the company's commitment to establishing deeper roots in the region's technology ecosystem and capturing emerging market opportunities.
