Indians are one of the largest leaders of innovation in Silicon Valley and America's tech industry cannot survive without them, the CEO of the Silicon Valley Central Chamber of Commerce has said. I don't have the new figures, but what matters is that we (Indians) are such impactful contributors," Harbir K Bhatia told PTI in an interview. India(ans) are one of the largest leaders of innovation in Silicon Valley. At one point, the data was collected (according to which) 40 per cent of Silicon Valley CEOs or founders were from South Asia or India. That is so huge, she said. Located in Santa Clara, the hub of Silicon Valley, the Chamber of Commerce is made up of a group of visionary business leaders from multiple cities that help grow and shape the future of Silicon Valley.

Altman is co-founder of OpenAI, the San Francisco-based company behind ChatGPT (yes, the chatbot that's seemingly everywhere today from schools to health care ).
