India batting great Sachin Tendulkar has announced a partnership with OpenAI, saying he is looking forward to exploring what else he can do with ChatGPT and sharing his experiences, the Daily Mirror reported, citing Business Standard.
Tendulkar made the announcement on Monday in a post on X.
What he said
“I’m excited to announce my partnership with OpenAI. We have some interesting things coming up, and I can’t wait to share them with you. I’ve always been curious… One question usually leads to another, and ChatGPT has certainly encouraged that habit. But it has also proved useful when I’ve needed to get things done, like planning my last trip with the family.”
He added that the partnership would involve “discovering what else I can do with ChatGPT, sharing what I find useful, and encouraging more people to give it a try with something they care about.”
Alongside the post he shared a video in which he asks ChatGPT to guess who he is within ten questions — which, per the report, it does.
The record behind the name
Tendulkar is the highest run-scorer in international cricket, with 34,357 runs across 664 matches — 15,921 in Tests, 18,426 in ODIs and 10 in his single T20I. His 100 international centuries remain unmatched.
He played international cricket from 1989 to 2013, became the first player to score an ODI double century with an unbeaten 200 against South Africa in 2010, was the first to reach 50 international centuries, and in 2014 became the first sportsperson awarded the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian honour.
Why it matters
The tie-up lands as OpenAI pushes harder into India, one of ChatGPT’s largest user bases. Earlier in September the company launched ChatGPT for Financial Services, aimed initially at investment banking and equity research.
What is not disclosed
Neither the length of the arrangement nor its financial terms are given in the report, and no specific products or campaigns are named beyond Tendulkar’s reference to “interesting things coming up”. OpenAI had issued no statement of its own in the account carried by the Daily Mirror.
