OpenAI Academy Set to Launch in India Under MoU with IndiaAI Mission
In a landmark move to strengthen AI education and innovation in India, OpenAI has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Indian government's IndiaAI Mission to launch the OpenAI Academy—marking its first international rollout. As part of this collaboration, OpenAI and IndiaAI will jointly deliver curated artificial intelligence (AI) training content via the OpenAI Academy and the IndiaAI FutureSkills portal. These offerings will be accessible to a wide audience, including public sector professionals, in multiple languages—English, Hindi, and four regional languages—ensuring inclusivity in skill-building. Jason Kwon, Chief Strategy Officer at OpenAI, emphasized India's key role in the global AI landscape, stating, 'With the second-largest number of ChatGPT users, India ranks among the top countries actively building AI technologies.' Speaking at the launch event, Abhishek Singh, CEO of IndiaAI Mission, identified one of India's critical hurdles in AI development: access to computing power. 'This has been addressed by providing around 34,000 GPUs at affordable rates—less than a dollar per GPU hour—significantly lower than global prices,' he said. In addition to computational resources, Singh also spotlighted the AI Kosh platform, which offers a rich repository of datasets across sectors, along with essential tools, AI models, and a sandbox environment to encourage innovation. Through a virtual message, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw described the initiative as a milestone for the country. 'This partnership is a significant step towards advancing our shared goal of democratizing access to knowledge and technology,' he said. This launch follows Kwon's global tour to engage with international policymakers on responsible AI deployment and governance. The academy initiative in India is aligned with OpenAI's broader commitment to make AI education globally accessible and responsible. In a move reflecting its growing investment in the Indian market, OpenAI last month introduced local data residency for Indian users. This ensures that data from ChatGPT Enterprise, ChatGPT Edu, and the OpenAI API platform will now be stored within the country, addressing key regulatory and privacy concerns. Further expanding its impact, OpenAI also announced the extension of its AI for Impact Accelerator Program to India. As part of this phase, 11 nonprofit organizations in the country have been selected to receive API credits and technical grants totaling $150,000. This initiative is backed by philanthropic partners including The Agency Fund, Tech4Dev, and These selected nonprofits will gain access to hands-on technical mentorship, cohort-based learning programs, and early access to OpenAI tools—empowering them to develop AI-driven solutions for social challenges. By combining educational outreach, infrastructure support, and social impact investment, OpenAI's partnership with IndiaAI is poised to significantly boost India's AI capabilities, while also ensuring that AI development remains inclusive, ethical, and transformative.

Russian President's Aide Credits Trump for Halting India-Pakistan Hostilities
Putin aide and former diplomat Yuri Ushakov. Photo: CC BY-SA 4.0. New Delhi: After repeated assertions by the US president, a senior aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin has now also credited Donald Trump with halting the fighting between India and Pakistan, saying the issue came up during a recent phone call between the two leaders. The conversation took place on Wednesday (June 4), following which Yury Ushakov briefed the media in Moscow. An English-language transcript of his remarks was uploaded to the Kremlin's official website on Thursday. The primary focus of the call was Ukraine's drone strikes on Russian air bases, with Putin reportedly warning Trump of a strong response. Towards the end of his remarks, Ushakov stated that other global hotspots were also discussed, during which the India-Pakistan conflict came up. 'Additionally, the Middle East was discussed, as well as the armed conflict between India and Pakistan, which has been halted with the personal involvement of President Trump,' he said. India had launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting nine terror-linked sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The strikes followed the April 22 attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 civilians, most of them tourists. Pakistan responded with its own military actions, triggering a rapid escalation involving drones, artillery and air defence systems. Since the end of the military conflict on May 10, Trump has claimed to have brought an end to the hostilities by mediating between India and Pakistan. The state department had even termed it as a 'US-brokered' ceasefire. He later asserted that he prevented a war by using trade as leverage over both countries – an assertion that has made its way into a legal filing. In a signed declaration to the US Court of International Trade, US commerce secretary Howard Lutnick cited Trump's threat of import tariffs as a key factor in stopping the escalation. The filing was part of the US government's defence of Trump-era global tariffs. So far, Trump had been the only foreign leader repeatedly referring to his role in halting the conflict, often bringing it up in interviews and White House events. The latest remarks from the Russian side now appear to bolster that narrative. The US version, however, runs counter to India's official position. India has stated that the decision to end hostilities was taken following direct communication between the Indian and Pakistani militaries without any external mediation. India has also asserted that trade was never discussed in any phone conversation between Indian and US leaders. With Trump's claims now echoed by Moscow, the issue could become more politically charged in India. The opposition, particularly the Congress, has accused Prime Minister Modi of buckling under US pressure and compromising India's long-held position of avoiding third-party mediation. Congress MP and the party's communications general secretary Jairam Ramesh on Thursday asked on X if Modi will 'clarify' how the ceasefire played out in light of Ushakov's remarks.
