An Indian-origin employee at OpenAI, a Silicon-valley based artificial intelligence firm, recently took to social media to share details of the work environment at the AI powerhouse, which has risen to global prominence in the last few years.
Pranav Deshpande, who joined the product marketing team for OpenAI's API platform just a month ago, described the fast work pace as "manic" and unprecedented.
In a post on X that quickly went viral, Deshpande wrote, “I’ve joined OpenAI to work on product marketing for the API Platform! Really excited to be working with a stellar group of people at one of the most important companies today. An honor and a privilege! One month in and the pace is manic. Never seen a team grind this hard.”

The post received a mix of congratulatory messages and discussions about the demanding work culture at OpenAI. One user commented, “What actually building the future looks like,” while another remarked, “OpenAI is bringing literally... A storm on the planet.”
This revelation comes amid growing scrutiny of OpenAI’s internal culture and its direction under CEO Sam Altman. The company, which has been at the forefront of generative AI technology, was recently embroiled in a lawsuit filed by Elon Musk.
The lawsuit alleges that Altman has shifted the company’s focus towards financial gain, diverging from its original mission to develop AI for the benefit of humanity.
Musk, who was one of the founding backers of OpenAI in 2015, has a complicated history with the company. He stepped down from the board in 2018, citing potential conflicts of interest due to his work in AI for self-driving cars. Despite his departure, Musk has continued to express concerns about OpenAI’s trajectory, filing a similar lawsuit earlier this year, which was withdrawn in June without explanation.
