OpenAI founder-CEO Sam Altman clarifies his 'hopeless' remark made during his visit to India.

Gaurav Munjal, CEO of Unacademy, supports Altman's perspective on the reality of Indian founders and investors.

Indian founders and investors often focus on short-term gains rather than long-term projects.

India needs to build a better ecosystem to foster the creation of global products and companies.

Indian entrepreneurs should move beyond dominating SaaS and IT services and explore other domains.

Sam Altman's visit to India aimed to strengthen ties between OpenAI and the Indian ecosystem.

Altman met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and participated in various technology and entrepreneurship events.
