Short answerYes. As of August 12, 2026, India is available as a country advertisers can target when creating a ChatGPT Ads campaign. OpenAI's public list of countries where an advertiser can open a self-serve Ads Manager account is a separate list and may change independently.
01What changed for India
India now appears in the campaign location picker as a supported country target. Campaigns can therefore be configured to reach eligible ChatGPT audiences in India, subject to OpenAI's account, policy, review, billing, and delivery requirements.
02What a ChatGPT ad looks like
A ChatGPT ad is a clearly labeled sponsored placement shown separately from the generated answer. Matching is based on the context and intent of a conversation, rather than a conventional list of search keywords.
03What Indian marketers should do first
Start by mapping the conversations that happen immediately before someone buys your product, then study existing advertisers and creatives before writing several specific message variations.
- Define high-intent customer conversations
- Research advertisers already active in your category
- Write benefit-led creative for Indian buyers
- Send traffic to a fast, locally relevant landing page
India targeting is live; advertiser access is separate
India can now be selected as the country a campaign targets. OpenAI maintains a separate, changing list of countries where businesses can open self-serve Ads Manager accounts. Confirm both before committing budget.
