OpenAI is reportedly planning to build a 1-gigawatt data center in India as part of its expansion efforts, according to sources familiar with the matter. The company has been scouting local partners to set up the infrastructure.

In a rush? Here are the quick facts:

  • OpenAI is reportedly planning to build a 1-gigawatt data center in India.
  • Anonymous sources said the company has been scouting local partners to set up the infrastructure.
  • The data centers will be part of OpenAI’s Stargate program.

According to Bloomberg , the initiative is part of the ambitious Stargate project and reflects the strong potential OpenAI sees in the country. Anonymous sources familiar with the matter confirmed that OpenAI is seeking partnerships with Indian firms for the venture.

Bloomberg reported that Microsoft and Google have already been building similar facilities to tap into India’s AI market. Now, OpenAI is joining the trend with a Stargate expansion, following the establishment of data centers in the United States and other regions.

Just a few days ago, OpenAI launched an affordable $4.60 subscription plan exclusively for the Indian market, which includes expanded access to GPT-5, the company’s latest and most advanced AI model.

Since February, OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, has shown increasing interest in India. He met with Indian IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to discuss market opportunities, as India is OpenAI’s second-largest market by user base.

According to Reuters , OpenAI announced in August that it wants to build its first India office in New Delhi later this year. The firm has already registered a legal entity and begun building a local team.

The location and timeline for the new data center remain undisclosed but could be revealed during Altman’s upcoming visit to the country later this month.

The Stargate program for the U.S. was announced along with the White House, Softbank, and Oracle in January this year. The joint venture, valued at up to $500 billion, aims to build large-scale AI infrastructure in Texas over the next four years.

A few weeks ago, Aker and Nscale announced another joint venture with OpenAI to build the largest AI facility in Europe, called Stargate. Powered by renewable energy, the European data center is expected to deliver 230 MW.

Google Says Claims Of Gmail Vulnerability Are False - 2

Google Says Claims Of Gmail Vulnerability Are False

Google issued a special document on Monday to reassure Gmail users that the platform’s protections remain strong and fully operational. The company denied recent allegations of vulnerabilities in its security system.

In a rush? Here are the quick facts:

  • Google issued a document on Monday denying vulnerability allegations.
  • The company reassured Gmail users that the platform’s protections remain strong.
  • It did not specify which claims or provide further details about the allegations.

According to the post shared on The Keyword, Google stated that recent claims of a broad warning were false, but it did not specify which claims or provide further details about the allegations.

“Several inaccurate claims surfaced recently that incorrectly stated that we issued a broad warning to all Gmail users about a major Gmail security issue,” states the document. “This is entirely false.”

The tech giant emphasized that Gmail’s safety measures are functioning properly and that it takes security seriously. Google highlights that while phishing attacks remain constant, its protection systems block around 99.9% malware and phishing attempts.

“Security is such an important item for all companies, all customers, all users — we take this work incredibly seriously,” added the company. “Our teams invest heavily, innovate constantly, and communicate clearly about the risks and protections we have in place. It’s crucial that conversation in this space is accurate and factual.”

Google also recommends that users adopt Passkeys—it’s public-key cryptography–based authentication method—as a safe password alternative, and follow its best practice guidelines, including how to identify and report phishing emails, to further reduce risk.

According to Engadget , the “unusual statement” may be linked to an “emergency warning” allegedly issued after a recent Salesforce breach. Last week, Google’s Threat Intelligence Group and Salesloft reported an attack in which hackers stole data using stolen OAuth and refresh tokens from the Drift application.

Separately, a few days ago, a Gmail phishing attack was also reported . Malicious actors sent emails with a “New Voice Notification” alert that appeared to come from trusted voicemail services, directing victims to a fake Gmail login page designed to steal user credentials.
