Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani Joined The Lawsuit.
Media outlets such as Mukesh Ambani’s Network 18, Gautam Adani’s NDTV, and other members of the Digital News Publishers Association (DNPA), have told a New Delhi court that they want to be part of ongoing lawsuit against the ChatGPT creator as they are worried about their news websites being scraped to store and reproduce their work for the users of powerful AI tool such as ChatGPT without proper licensing agreement.
The publishers claim this practice undermines the financial viability of their businesses by diverting advertising revenue and profiting from the work of content creators. This, they argue, threatens India’s media ecosystem and the role of traditional journalism in a nation with over 1.4 billion people, reported India.com

Responding to the ANI case, OpenAI said in comments reported by Reuters last week that any order to delete training data would result in a violation of its U.S. legal obligations, and Indian judges have no jurisdiction to hear a copyright case against the company as its servers are located abroad.
OpenAI, valued at over $30 billion and backed by Microsoft, has disrupted industries worldwide with its generative AI tools. Since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, the company has raised $6.6 billion in funding, positioning itself as a leader in AI innovation.
However, its rapid expansion into markets like India has not been without resistance. Indian publishers argue that OpenAI’s failure to negotiate licensing agreements undermines the rights of content creators and threatens the democratic role of the press.
