What this route means in India
Independent contractor
You invoice the company rather than joining its payroll. There is typically no employer PF or gratuity; you handle income tax and GST registration if you bill from India. Pay is commonly in USD or another foreign currency, with leave and benefits negotiated in your contract.
OpenAI's Clean Energy and New Technology Lead role offers Remote - US plus US city options, excluding India for this opening.
Needs confirmation
Annotation: The source's Remote - US location is explicit; this finding does not imply a policy for other OpenAI roles.

India-eligible openings
